The project has an international cast. Rebane co-wrote the script with film’s leading actor Tom Prior. The film is produced by two UK-based companies, No Reservations Entertainment and The Factory with producer Brigita Rozenbrika. Several Estonians are also part of the project, including composer Imre Sooäär and cinematographer Mait Mäekivi.
