Writer and Producer Christopher B. Stokes stated: "I was thrilled to be able to work with the one and only Miss Loretta Devine, someone who I truly respect and admire. Also, Lauren London who's a great friend of mine. I am just overwhelmed and fortunate to be in a position where I can work with such Veterans like Wood Harris. Being able to have a vision and see it carried out is why I love being a director. I get to do what I always dreamed of as a kid growing up watching Steven Spielberg. Working with true talent, doing what I love. Creating thrillers is my passion and I'm happy I can send people on a good rollercoaster ride with this one. Footage Films has so many great things to come, stay tuned."

President of Footage Films Juanita Stokes states: "I'm truly blessed and honored for this opportunity, and even more honored that Chris and Marques entrust me with this huge responsibility. As president of Footage Films my goal is to elevate the production company and commit to amplifying black voices and culture through film and television with the highest quality of writing for the black community."
