The film's budget was around $9 million. This allowed director Christian Sparkes to move production to the isolated community of Keels, Newfoundland. Making a film there had been on his bucket list for a long time.
Mostly filmed in Keels, Newfoundland, which has a population of about 30 people (the production crew, according to the film's director, numbered between 80 and 90). Many of the Keels locals appear in the film as background characters.
Aden Young and Clayne Crawford previously starred together in the series Rectify.
