History
On March 22, 2016, Robbie and Stephen Amell premiered a 10 minute short film as a teaser for a full-length feature.[2] While releasing the short, the Amells simultaneously started an Indiegogo campaign in order to fund the full-length feature.[3][4] With their target being $200,000 the film was funded less than 48 hours, and continues to grow.[5][6] Both the Amells expressed that by going with the crowdfunding route, they can keep the creative control to themselves.[7] On April 9, 2016, Robbie Amell teased in a Facebook Q&A video that actor Victor Garber had expressed his interest in joining the film.[8]
Filming
Due to scheduling conflicts, Stephen Amell was not able to star in the short film, yet however did voice a police drone; he confirmed that he will star in the feature.[9] The short film was self-financed as well as calling in favors from friends and family.[10] Production is slated to begin February 2017, and is projected to wrap in May 2017.[3]
