• The climax of the film was shot on a steel arch bridge over the Rio Grande Gorge in New Mexico, which is considered one of the most spectacular and highest (172 meters) in the United States.
• The film's composer, Nima Fakhara, personally crafted some of the unique instruments used to perform the film's music.
• The time period of internet hackers and smartphones echoes an earlier era when cassette players and landline phones were popular. This was done intentionally. Director William Eubank decided that this would further confuse the audience.
• Director William Eubank wanted the audience to think they already knew where everything was going and how it would end, only for all their guesses to be proven wrong in the next moment – and this continued throughout the entire film.
