Ivan Leung and Harrison Xu wrote and directed the film, and also star in it, each playing three roles. They formed the production company Heroic Impact to make the film, which is both of their feature filmmaking debuts.[1][3] It is the second feature film for the film's third co-writer and co-director, Katherine Dudas (after her 2022 feature debut Juniper).[1] The film was produced by Leung, Xu, and Noel Do-Murakami.[1]

Leung and Xu wrote the screenplay in a month, and started filming about three weeks later. They shot the film in five days, often with two cameras, and later did several days of reshoots.[4][5] They self-financed the film.[5]
