Failing to complete the film, the footage was edited into a trailer, with the intent on re-shooting the originally planned 20 + minute version of the short in the future. Approximately 40% of the film was shot.
The costumes worn by the lead actor (Johnny Allbones) were based on Klaus Kinski in Aguirre, the Wrath of God, which influenced heavily on the film.
Stylistically, the film was based on the works of Nicolas Winding Refn, David Lynch, Steve McQueen, Terrence Malick and Werner Herzog.
