Production

Come Morning was shot over 12 days in mid-October 2011. Filming took place just outside the small town of Kingsland, Arkansas, the boyhood home of director, Derrick Sims. Sims set the film in 1970s Kingsland because, he said, “It captures the atmosphere and the hunting culture of southern Arkansas."

He said that hunting was different then, more basic. "I didn't want the characters to bait the deer or have motion cameras to photograph them. I also didn't want them to have cellphones. There's just something unromantic about [them].""

According to the film's production diaries, the daytime temperature during the final days of shooting was 33 degrees and conditions were harried.

"We were standing in three feet of water...we had been shooting for 16 straight hours, and we were more like the walking dead than filmmakers. We had done the unthinkable; we had shot a feature-length film in just 12 days. That kind of thing doesn’t happen, and we fully understood why.

Though the film is fictional, Sims drew from memories of hunting with his grandfather as a boy for the characters of "Frank" and "D". The film is set in a distinct cultural part of Arkansas, and many minor roles were filled by local actors and non-actors. Actors from around the US were cast in the five more prominent roles.
