An Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign was launched for an initial target of $100,000. This was accomplished and casting began in late 2014. Austin P. McKenzie was initially signed on for the role of Benjamin Bentley but ultimately had to dropout because his role in Spring Awakening attained great success and he was required for additional roles. Grant Davis ultimately took over the role. The roles of Tim Wyman, Jace Holden and Allison Cross went to Davi Santos, Ben Baur and Ajiona Alexus respectively.
