The idea was pitched to Sam J Jones via Skype in October 2014, and in January 2015 filming commenced. The first footage shot was at Laredo's STCE Comic Con in Texas, USA.
Some of the interviews took over two years to lock in.
The interview of Melody Anderson was filmed in her house in Los Angeles.
The documentary visited a number of Comic Cons for filming. These were Alamo City Comic Con (San Antonio, TX), Dale Con (Rochdale, UK), MCM Comic Con Birmingham (UK), South Texas Collectors Expo Comic Con (Laredo, TX), and Wizard World Comic Con (Portland, OR). Wizard World Comic Con was the only one that Sam J Jones wasn't actually appearing at.
Despite the subject matter being about a US actor, the UK production team only spent about a month in the USA.
