Production

Producer Cody Greenwood, the daughter of artist and children’s book author Frané Lessac, was inspired by her family's frequent visits to Montserrat during the 1990s and 2000s. She chose Gracie Otto as director based on her 2013 film The Last Impresario.

Special permission had to be obtained to film among the ruins, due to the dangers of doing so.
