Cast members Carrie-Anne Moss and Steven Roy have been married in real life since November 1999. The couple previously worked together as actors in Sledge: The Untold Story (2005) and Matrix resurrecciones (2021).
Writer and director Lowell Dean wrote the script for this movie before the release of his cult favorite WolfCop (2014) but could not find financing until Telefilm Canada provided funding for the film based on a revised draft, almost a decade after the initial draft of the script.
Douglas Smith's name was on a list of actors considered for the role of Ethan. When Carrie-Anne Moss saw the list, she put in a good word for him, having worked with him previously in El niño que huele a pez (2013) and Nunca digas su nombre (2017). This helped Smith to get an offer for the role.
Writer and director Lowell Dean cites Eterno resplandor de una mente sin recuerdos (2004) and Enséñame a vivir (1971) as cinematic influences. He also says he was influenced by Amnesia (2000) in terms of its unconventional narrative structure.
Executive producer Elizabeth Hodgson has been actress Carrie-Anne Moss's manager since Moss's earliest days in the entertainment industry as an actress. The movie is Hodgson's first outing as a producer.
