Production
Car scenes in the film were shot in a studio and exteriors were composited together. Boadella said it was only possible to do during the pandemic because the empty studios were generous enough to give them a one day rate for the entire film.

Review
The film won Best Feature Film at New Jersey International Film Festival’s Spring 2023 edition. Natalie Tango at New Jersey Stage compared the film to Taxi Driver and said it is a phenomenal psychological horror film, complimenting DeCesare’s performance and claiming the color “tones of blue and red help indicate the film’s negative, depressing theme.”
