Production
Wirthenson and Reay were long-time acquaintances who had met while modelling. After reconnecting with Wirthenson in 2010, Reay confessed over drinks that despite maintaining an active life, working and appearing outwardly successful he was actually homeless and had been for some time. Wirthenson persuaded Reay to allow him to film him as the subject of a documentary.
