Costner produces the film alongside Howard Kaplan and Mark Gillard, with Danny Peykoff, Robert Scannell, Armyan Bernstein, Charlie Lyons, Barry Berg, and Rod Lake serving as executive producers. The screenplay is penned by Jon Baird and Kevin Costner, with the story crafted by Jon Baird, Kevin Costner, and Mark Kasdan.
