Producer Michael Kosciesza and Director Tomasz Wysocki teamed up to develop the idea for the film, write a script and build the set. With a $3,000 budget, they can't pay the sole actor, Michael Hickey, or the various crew members, but they all get the satisfaction of working on a creative enterprise in the evening hours, after many of them have completed their day jobs.

Filming is wrapping up on the movie, which tells what happens when a man wakes up in a completely white room that he can't escape from, having no idea how he got there. Kosciesza has plans to submit the finished piece to film festivals.
