Production

The non-profit organization Philanthropy Project produced Little Red Wagon, which was planned to be a movie about Zach Bonner and his walks. In 2009, Michael Guillen, the CEO of Philanthropy Project, planned to make a US$5 million movie about the Little Red Wagon Foundation. Bonner's story was selected from among a pool of 6,000 candidates. After the number of candidates was narrowed to 12, Bonner's story was unanimously chosen.

Praising Bonner for his philanthropy, Guillen said that "[h]e's sincere. He's humble. He's generous. He's everything that is good about our country. So... when I see Zach, I see the future of our country, and I think we're going to be in good hands." After Bonner was told that Philanthropy Project would create a movie about him, he hung his head and sobbed, replying, "But I'm so small."

The film's director was David Anspaugh, who had previously directed the sports films Hoosiers and Rudy. Little Red Wagon cost US$5 million to produce. Filmed in May 2010 in and around Charleston, South Carolina, the movie's theatrical release was on October 5, 2012, and its DVD release was on January 8, 2013.
