The cast also includes Evan Adams, Ross Munro, Nathan Alexis and Nathaniel Arcand.

A short version of the film was screened at the Whistler Film Festival in 2015, and was expanded into a feature film in 2016 after Hopkins was accepted into the festival's Screenwriters Lab.[3] It was shot in the Merritt area in 2017; however, Hopkins' post-production funding fell through, and the film was left in limbo until he was able to secure new funding from the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network.[3]

The film premiered at Whistler in 2020, where Hopkins won the award for Best British Columbia Director and received an honorable mention for the Borsos Competition award for Best Screenplay.[4]
