Originally set at Paramount Global Content Distribution in late 2022 , the movies have since shifted under Paramount’s Republic Pictures umbrella.

One Mile and its sequel were written by John Hlavin based on an idea by Kaplan’s daughter, Jaiden Kaplan, with rewrites by TJ Brady and Rasheed Newson who worked on Kapital’s Showtime series The Chi . In the films, when an estranged father (Phillippe) and daughter (Hoeferle) go off for college tours, they get more than they bargained for when they get lost and stumble across a hostile, off-the-grid community.

Phillippe and Davidson produce alongside Jaiden Kaplan, who came up with the story when she and her father were touring colleges. Aaron Kaplan and Michael Lohmann produce for Kapital; Chad Oakes and Mike Frislev for Nomadic Pictures, which handles physical production in Vancouver. Hlavin executive produces. Kevin Marco is the executive in charge at Kapital.

Early in his career, Davidson won an Oscar and Palme D’Or for his short The Lunch Date. He is repped by CAA, Rain and attorney Ryan Goodell at Yorn Levine.
