Part of the 12 Western feature films to be made in 12 months during 2020, this film tells the story of Texas Red, an African-American man who was hunted by hundreds through the Winter wilderness of Mississippi.
The cast and crew were stalked during production by a few Franklin county residents, angered by the film's story which touches on a raid on an African-American man's cabin which led to the killing of a deputy and subsequent manhunt. The stalkers attempted to intimate the cast and crew, driving by the locations several times and making obscene comments on the film's Facebook page. Authorities were notified during production.
The original courthouse location in Meadville, Mississippi, for the final scenes backed out during production because of the controversy associated with the true events of the film's story. Director Travis Mills moved the scenes to Monticello, Mississippi where his previous film Blood Country was produced.
Actor Herman Johnson studied James Cagney's performance in The Oklahoma Kid and other movies many times in preparation for this role. It is quite possible his character "The Oklahoma Kid", based on a true outlaw, chose his nickname from that 1939 movie.
Director Travis Mills served as The Oklahoma Kid's stunt double for the Mississippi river scene, applying makeup to his neck and hands for the shot. The Pearl River was used as a substitute for the Mississippi. At the time of filming, the Pearl River was in flood stage.
Director Travis Mills first heard about Cedric Burnside while writing the last scenes of the Texas Red script, listening to Spotify when one of Burnside's songs started playing. He liked the music so much that he played the Grammy-nominated album for the remainder of the writing process and afterward, decided it was worth a shot to contact Cedric about being involved with the movie.
