The film revolves around the covert relationship of a woman with a corrupt police officer and "sugar daddy." Principal photography began in July 2022 in Tagaytay.
Peralejo was offered the role of Me-Ann three to four times. She initially hesitated to accept the role because she felt unready to perform certain scenes in the film.
Confiado employed method acting to prepare for his role as Soliman. To immerse himself in the part, he isolated himself in the mountains for four days, reflecting the film's setting in a secluded house. Director Praico described the casting for Confiado's role as âÂÂtricky,â noting that around 15 actors were considered for the part.
