The film is Moore's feature length debut.[1] Principal photography took place on Main Street[2] and the El Coronado Restaurant in Safford, Arizona[3] while the majority of the film was shot in Klondyke, Arizona.[4] Cavender's parents own the property where most of the film is set[5] in Oro Valley, Arizona.[2]
The film was financed for $200,000 with help by crowd-funding on Indiegogo.[6]
The film premiered at Arizona International Film Festival on April 13, 2019.[6] It was distributed by Gravitas Ventures in 2020.[7]
Jon Johnson at The Gila Herald said it is an original film, with characters resembling the cast of Reservoir Dogs.[1] Jim McLennan at Film Blitz scored it a C+ claiming it is set up like Die Hard on a ranch but that it doesn't deliver.[8]
