Production

Director and co-writer Chris von Hoffmann said he channeled his anger and frustration into the film, intentionally making it as nihilistic and mean-spirited as possible. His primary influence was The Proposition, though U Turn influenced the initial concept when he was still brainstorming ideas. This early concept involved two brothers who entered a haunted town, but the supernatural aspect was later dropped.

Von Hoffmann and Aria Emory, the co-writer and star, met on the set of Behaving Badly and subsequently began developing Drifter. von Hoffmann said Emory was always intended to play the lead. The rest of the cast were not auditioned; instead, they came from people with whom von Hoffmann had previously worked or people with whom he wanted to work. Shooting took place in Southern California over the course of approximately 13 days.
