Director Jesse Klein is the brother of Joey Klein, and wrote the film specifically for his brother on the grounds that he felt Joey had not yet had the chance to play a role that showed off his full acting range.[3]

The film premiered at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in 2016,[1] and had its commercial premiere in 2017.[3]

Camacho won the award for Best Actor from the Montreal chapter of the ACTRA Awards,[2] Klein won the award for Best Actor from the ACTRA Awards chapter in Toronto,[4] and both actors received Prix Iris nominations for Best Actor at the 20th Quebec Cinema Awards.[5]
