Production

In an interview with Variety, Korine characterized Baby Invasion as well as his previous EDGLRD production Aggro Dr1ft as works of "post-cinema" which he termed "blinx" for their unconventional nature. British electronic producer Burial created an original score for the film. Of the score, Korine said, "I never actually met Burial and I never actually spoke with Burial. So it was all done through Discord messages, and we'd kind of talk on PS5.

The cast have little or no acting experience, apart from Scott Ference who played a little person in Aggro Dr1ft.

Visual effects for Baby Invasion were created using artificial intelligence and video game engines. The film credits two "AI artists", three "AI engineers", and four "AI whisperers".
