Shot in found footage mockumentary style in two locations located near the Lake of the Ozarks, the film is about a group of college graduates that celebrate an engagement party at a relative's lake house, captured as 'real footage' on a video camera, with the actors themselves serving as cinematographers. Although the film is inspired by the real murders committed by Jean Lanfray, the actual story in the film is fictional. The film took one month to write, eight days to shoot, and one month to edit.
