Moment of Truth was produced for just $2,100. With almost the entire budget being raised through indiegogo, the production company saved money by paying for virtually nothing, from personnel to gear (most was owned by crew members) to locations (the script was built around locations director Tim Ritter knew he had access to). Most of the money spent went to food or gas money for a few out-of-town cast and crew members.
Moment of Truth was shot in only 11 full production days; however those days stretched over 13 months due to frequent scheduling difficulties.
Moment of Truth was one of the first feature films to utilize the "hacked" Panasonic GH2 when it began shooting in 2011. The "Hack" is a way of updating a camera's bitrate to significantly increase picture resolution, in this case a sub-$1,000 camera. However, by the time postproduction was complete, several films had already made use of the technological advance, including Shane Carruth's acclaimed film "Upstream Color," also using a GH2.
