Originally written in late 2013. Four complete drafts were written by April 2014. After the completion of Betrayals & Bullets: The Dame (2015), the project was eventually revived, rewritten, and put into production.
Was in post-production for nearly 6 months before its online release. This was to facilitate a full original score being written, as well as additional photography to reshoot certain scenes and moments.
The screenplay was initially inspired by Only God Forgives (2013). Other influences included Bullet to the Head (2012) and Spring Breakers (2012), while Sicario (2015) inspired some rewrites.
An extensive making-of documentary was planned to coincide with the DVD and Blu-ray release, but the majority of the crew declined interviews and didn't want to be involved. Instead, a production diary was put together with voiceover from Callum Knox.
