It was filmed in York, North Yorkshire in a purpose-built green screen stage at GSP Studios (at the former ARTTS International film school) at Bubwith, entirely on green screens. Production began in mid-February 2012 and filming began in mid-April. The film was released on 24 October 2014. A casting call for the role of Paul was posted on 26 October 2011 and another for 'Yorkshire-based teenagers' was posted on 9 January 2012; the latter also states that Jeremy Zimmerman was the casting director.
