Diani and Devine funded the movie with a successful $100,000 Kickstarter campaign in 2013, where they described the project as "a modern take on the classic Abbott & Costello/Martin & Lewis/Hope & Crosby comedy team genre set against the background of the collapse of civilization." The campaign also said: "It's like one of those old Bob Hope/Bing Crosby ROAD TO... movies meets Cormac McCarthy's THE ROAD. It's THE ROAD TO THE ROAD!"

SPOILER: After the end credits there is a brief scene slowly panning over desert bushes. Ed pops up from hiding with a bush on the top of his head as camouflage, quickly looks left and right, then drops back down into hiding again. As Gabe had predicted, Ed is still alive.
