Production

Alongside writer Steven Jarrett, Troke explored the background mythology of the film and had created a script by early 2009. Troke had originally intended to shoot the film by the end of 2009, but, after he was hired to direct the horror film Sparrow, production on Untitled halted. After working with both Moore and Harrup on Sparrow, Troke ultimately decided to cast both of them in the lead female roles in Untitled.

Accolades

The film won 'Best Narrative Feature' at the American International Film Festival in September 2011. Untitled will go on a limited cinematic release in 2012.

Marketing and release

Prior to festival release, Untitled used a viral marketing campaign by promoting various clips of the film via the film's official YouTube channel. Similar to many mockumentary films, this footage was presented as "genuine". Untitled premiered at the American International Film Festival in September 2011.
