The film stars Willa Fitzgerald, Kyle Gallner, Madisen Beaty, Steven Michael Quezada, Ed Begley Jr., and Barbara Hershey.

It is divided into six chapters in nonlinear order. Principal photography began in Portland, Oregon on August 22, 2022, and concluded on October 1. The film marked the cinematographic debut of Giovanni Ribisi, who also served as one of the producers, and was shot on 35 mm film.
