Since he was unemployed due to the global pandemic at the time, director Nicholas Acosta began shooting in April of 2021. After the first weekend of shooting, Nicholas was called back into work again and had to postpone the production. Eventually, shooting only on weekends. The shoot took 12 shooting days spread out over the course of 9 months.
Shot without the use of permits, the filmmakers made sure to follow the rules of the road and used creative camera and editing techniques to make the cars look like they were driving faster than they were.
The LAPD were very helpful in the production of the movie. Though the filmmakers had no permits, a few police assisted them during the shoot. In one instance, offering to drive by for a shot in the movie. And in another instance, on a separate day, blocked off the street they were shooting on. Reportedly, they were there for a show that was to be going on that evening, but the officer in charge told his officers to come early to make sure the filmmakers were safe since the area was a dangerous part of town.
Shot during the Covid 19 Pandemic, since the roads were mainly empty during this time.
All the car crashes were not done with traditional means like with real cars or even CGI, but instead diecast toy models. The director and lead actress shot the models themselves in DTLA and even their apartment parking lot.
