The film was produced by Half Day Wednesday and Red Scout Films, and played in film festivals and select cinemas between October 2015 and an unspecified month in 2016. The artwork for the film, including the promotional materials as well as the comic book prop, was produced by Jay Boulton. Many of the students involved have subsequently gone into the industry or onto film school. Both Boag and Pownall had worked before with Hearn on his short film Motto, as well as a previous feature film.

The cast consisted of professional actors, mostly British, such as Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley, as well as award-winning theatre and film actress Elizabeth Boag, Mark Forester Evans and Nathalie Pownall from the horror film Credo. Much like that film, Hearn's students were given the responsibility of raising money (via crowdfunding), as well as shooting and editing the film, all under Hearn's supervision.
Hearn had been teaching film at Andover College, and conceived the project as a hands-on training exercise for his students, influenced by Brian De Palma's Home Movies. Scrawl's stylistic production harks back to the 70s and 80s horrors Phantasm and A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, as well as fantasy films such as Big. Catherine Ruddick as Charlie, a character in the comic who is the first 'monster' to appear in our world.Mark Forester Evans as Frank, Joe's estranged father.Annabelle Le Gresley as Annie, Joe's co-scouter with a habit of taking a camera with 'sentimental value' everywhere with her.When Scrawl was in the final stages of production, she left the project to focus on her role in Star Wars. Although The Inbetweeners 2 was slated to be her film debut, the directors decided to remove her scenes from the final cut after she was cast in The Force Awakens, because it meant she was not available for any other scenes.
Hearn stated that at the time of pre-production she was a total unknown until she was cast in the film Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
The appearance of a mysterious woman who may actually be death incarnate only makes things worse for him as he is forced to face what he has created, while staying alive long enough to rewrite the ending before it's too late. Simon is a high school student who makes his own comic books, but soon finds that the deaths depicted in their pages are coming to life, and targeting his friends.
