The Documentary took over 6 years to make. The on-set footage was shot in July 2008. The first set of interviews were shot in 2009. Director Mathew J. Wilkinson found it too painful to relive the events and placed the hard drive away in a cupboard, only to rediscover it in 2014. The last set of interviews were recorded in November 2014.
The footage had to be edited on Final Cut Version 4 as the age of the hard drive and constant issues with files being corrupted or not converting caused much grief. Some footage of the 16mm footage changes between 16x9 and 4x3 ratio as a result of the editing issues.
