Production
= Development
=Originally conceived as a short film in 2010, Christmas Crime Story was the brainchild of Sean & Robert Chipman. The script went through development problems as, at two different points, the original script file had become corrupted and the file lost. In 2012, the screenplay was completed and uploaded to an online screenwriting site, SimplyScripts, and was found in May 2016 by director Richard Friedman. With Richard Friedman aboard to direct the film, changes in the script were requested, including: updating the setting from a small Massachusetts town to Los Angeles and updating the conditions from a blizzard to a heat wave. The film is produced by Markus Linecker, Richard Friedman and Vince Lozano.
= Filming
=Filming began on December 2, 2016 in Los Angeles, California and concluded on December 14, 2016.
