Subsequent casting additions included Felissa Rose and Jackie Kelly as the ensemble expanded during production development.[5]

In an interview on the Indie Film Sucks podcast, writer Kurt Aubuchon described the film as a “deconstruction Western set in the post-Civil War Reconstruction era,” while director Harry Kolmer cited influences including The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and the films of Michael Mann, particularly Thief (film).[7]
