Lapointe began making the film in 2018 with an intention to work toward releasing it in 2021 or 2022, but sped up production following Lafortune's death of COVID-19 in April 2020.[3] The film premiered at the 2020 Whistler Film Festival,[4] where it received an honourable mention from the jury for the Whistler Film Festival Documentary Award,[5] and won the Audience Award.[6]
