Director Ira Rosensweig stated "it was very important to me that the actors could interact with each other in real time, so we built three identical sets next to each other on a stage. Equally important was their ability to see each other, as well as the need to establish fixed eyelines to each of the elements on their screen, without which the reality of the movie would have been destroyed. In order to achieve this, each set had a fixed camera integrated into a visual communication system that we created using Interrotrons (essentially, two-way teleprompters) connected to a live switching system. This allowed not only me, but each actor looking at their teleprompter to see a previsualization of the finished scene -- that included not only the live feed of the cameras in the other rooms, but also the computer interface as they typed and interacted with it."
Having a small production allowed producers to complete the film in 12 days. Melvin Gregg said he would only leave the set for lunch, but there was no down time otherwise.
Melvin Gregg said his prior career as a social media influencer informed his role
The film had [a] false start in 2020 when they attempted to film remotely in the actors' actual houses during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Discussing pre production work, Melvin said: ""I think they would've been open anyway, but I had a lot of insight into this world because I came from a social media space," Gregg said. "I had a lot of input into what the character was going through, how he felt, what this world looks and feels like.""
