Hellman shot in the streets of London and traveled to Italy to shoot at Lake Garda. His daughter, co-producer Melissa Hellman, raised more money through private equity. Hellman still needed to shoot some scenes in Europe, but was over budget. Natasha Senjanovic of The Hollywood Reporter called the plane crash one of "cinema's top plane crashes" and remarked that, " is beautifully shot and comes as a total surprise". In post-production, film editors cut the shots back and forth of Rowell flying near the dam and the actual actor sitting in Rowell's plane pretending to fly in front of a green screen and crashing the plane into the Fontana Dam. Rowell did eight to nine passes over the lake, flying 300 to 500 feet above the water. Jim Rowell, a Cullowhee resident got a deal with the filmmakers that allowed him to make a fuel pump repair at the airport in exchange for flying his 1966 Piper Cherokee four-passenger plane as a stuntman.

On a budget of under $5 million, principal photography was almost entirely in western North Carolina (where the film is also set) between July and August 2009.
Reluctantly, Gaydos gave Sossamon his card saying, "I don't do this often, but I wonder if you or your agent would contact Monte Hellman." Hellman told the Los Angeles Times that he dedicated the film to Laurie Bird, with whom Hellman fell in love while directing her in Two-Lane Blacktop. Shannyn Sossamon was the first actor to be cast after Gaydos saw her in a restaurant rehearsing a scene with another person. The film was written by Variety executive editor Steven Gaydos.
