was directed and produced by Eddie Martin, and George Pank co-produced the film, and Chris King was the editor. and King had previously worked together on the award-winning documentaries Senna and Exit Through the Gift Shop. The documentary began production in 2010, as footage of the Pappas brothers was sourced from friends and filmmakers. Tony Hawk declined an offer to be interviewed for the film.
