It stars actors that include Leon Griffin, Ethan Marten, Lareon Brent Jr., Lamont Ferguson, John Smith and Gina Owens.
News 3's Leondra Head spoke to producer and director Butch Maier about the project.
"I’ve always driven through Pungo and noticed its beauty and had an idea of someone surviving a car wreck and put those two ideas together. My production company, Sumbadhat, we make movies in Coastal Virginia," Maier said.
Maier says the movie will be released this fall on a streaming platform. His previous movies have been released on platforms like Peacock and Tubi.
