Manifest West is a 2022 American thriller drama film written and directed by Joe Dietsch and Louie Gibson and starring Lexy Kolker, Annet Mahendru, Milo Gibson, Michael Cudlitz and Tim Heidecker.

Production

Script writing started in 2019, with the premise inspired by government stand-offs in the USA during the 1990s and how those people may have chosen to live alternatively during that time.

Principal photography was originally due to commence in early 2020, however shooting was postponed for two months due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

In writing and developing the character Riley, who is the film's storyteller, directors Dietsch and Gibson recalled their own childhood experiences. When deciding upon the character being a younger girl, Dietsch highlighted that they wanted to include scenes of her doing the same things similar aged boys would, rather than portraying a "princess" stereotype.

The roles for the two adult leads were written specifically for Milo Gibson and Annet Mahendru, who are the brother and wife respectively of co-director and co-writer Louie Gibson. They were originally planning to feature together in a different film, which did not materialise.
