Brittany Snow directed and produced the picture, and co-wrote the script with Becca Gleason. Snow said she had the idea for the film in her "early twenties". She has spoken previously about her own battle with eating disorders and rigorously planned "darker" scenes with storyboards so as to avoid Eaton spending more time than necessary in scenes criticising her own body, saying "I knew what I wanted very specifically in those scenes, I knew what angles I wanted to use, so I didn't have to have her cry hysterically all day." The film was scored by Keegan DeWitt.
