In 2010 the filmmakers produced an original teaser for a feature film based on Bridger's screenplay with the web series cast. Principal photography was conducted in and around Kansas City.[4][5] Post production for the teaser and also the re-packaging of the footage as the 2017 web series was conducted by Michael Hemschoot in Travelin Production's Colorado facilities. The resulting 10-minute series was shown at the 2010 Little Rock Film Festival.
Bridgers' original screenplay for the feature film the series is based on has received praise from the series star, Garret Dillahunt, who said, "I think it is one of the most beautiful scripts I’ve read in the passed decade."[6] Fellow Deadwood cast member, Ray McKinnon also said it was one of the best un-produced scripts he's read in the past decade.
