Produced by Eugene Lee and her company Zip Cinema (Bittersweet Life, Woochi), the film is in pre-production with plans for local release this winter.

Short film award-winning director Kim Min-suk is making his feature debut with this film. Kim Min-suk previously co-wrote the screenplay for The Good, The Bad, The Weird and was assistant director to Kim Jee-woon on the kimchi western.
