The film was written for the actors Patrick O'Donnell, Emma Eliza Regan and Bibbi Larsson, who had all worked with writer/director Ivan Kavanagh on his previous feature films.
The film takes place during Christmas. The script mentions that it should be snowing, which is uncommon in Ireland and because of the tight budget, fake snow was out of the question. However, on the very first day of filming it began to snow heavily.
