The director is David Hackl (Saw V) and it’s written by Nika Agiashvili (Tbilisi, I Love You).

Okanagan Film Commissioner Jon Summerland says, “Mind’s Eye Entertainment’s slate of films that they continue to bring to the Okanagan and shoot here, is a clear statement on what the Okanagan is offering to producers. This represents the continuing growth trend as the region gains recognition as a great film and television production location.”
