Development

On July 21, 2021, it was reported that Louis Gonzales would write and direct a CGI animated short film titled Nona. In September 2021, Gonzales described the short as "The story itself at its core is a grandmother and her grandchild bonding over wrestling". Gonzales' own grandmother visited him during his childhood and talked passionately about wrestling.

He also "found it exciting to be presenting a grandmother that is not like the grandmas we're used to seeing." During the short's development, he discovered that his ideas were "pulling from [my] family. Like it was always my life –my people, my loves that kept coming back into the story, and kept feeding it".
