Development
Ryan Little's first project was the short film The Last Good War, which won a Student Emmy. Little wanted to produce a World War II themed feature film. In 2002, Little teamed up with producer Adam Abel to create the production company, Go Films. After finding a private investor in California, Little and Abel sought to produce the film on a budget of $780,000.The original title of the film was "Saints and War". Before the film had a script, the filmmakers scouted filming locations, determinin...
Casting
Little and Abel quickly cast Corbin Allred and Kirby Heyborne. However, because Heyborne had roles in many other films related to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), they instructed Heyborne to grow a mustache, dye his hair, use a British accent, and smoke during the movie. Because Heyborne did not smoke, he smoked herbal cigarettes and practiced dragging daily for a few weeks before filming. Additionally, Heyborne did not have access to a dialect coach so he became...
Filming
Principal photography took place in early 2003 over 30 days in Utah, Wasatch, and Salt Lake counties in Utah. Camera angles were carefully positioned to avoid showing the Wasatch mountains on camera to create the illusion of being in the Ardennes. Filming was done in January to use the available snow, but production had to use potato flakes when there was not enough snow.Moreover, a tight filming budget required actors to do their own stunts. Snow and freezing temperatures were challenges to...

Some criticism has been leveled against the MPAA rating board with regard to their rating independent films more harshly than those of the large studios. (See also "LDS cinema and MPAA ratings".) While the MPAA never communicated any specific scenes that warranted the rating, Deseret News film critic Chris Hicks speculates that the reason...

Critical reception

The New York Times wrote that the film's, "impressive cast of largely unknown actors...[and] meticulously researched film tells its story with quiet conviction". However, Variety insisted that the script had "letdowns", including anachronismsin the dialogue and other story incongruities, yet they commended the pro...
