: Bonk shot most of the film in his own home to control the "space, light, and chaos" while keeping costs low.
The idea was born during a film festival when director Ron Bonk and friend Jonathan Straiton were joking about a sleeping acquaintance. Bonk later refined the concept after hearing ice cracking on his roof during a Syracuse winter, which inspired the thought: "Shark in a house". This led to a script about a man named Frank who discovers a mutated, land-dwelling shark—a "House Shark"—terrorizing his home.
: The project gained a cult following early on, with campaigns exceeding funding goals by nearly 1100%. Fans could even buy "perks" like becoming an extra, getting an Executive Producer credit, or receiving props and digital copies of the script. Film Synopsis
