Matthew Kennedy (Inheritance, Canary Black) wrote the screenplay. Miller is also producing the project with Myles Nestel & Craig Chapman (Honest Thief, Blacklight), Cummings, Jim Cardwell (Not Another Church Movie), Luillo Ruiz (Plane, Fortress) and Sevier Crespo. The Newton Brothers have previously collaborated with the director on the features Escape Plan 2: Hades and Line of Duty.
