Production
Originally titled Home Invasion, the screenplay was developed by former Silver Pictures executive Alex Heineman (Partner, The Picture Company) with screenwriter Joseph Dembner. In early 2014, Producer Michael Fiore and Director Sean Carter developed and filmed a sequence from Dembner's script in coordination with the team at Silver Pictures and Dembner. That demo secured Sean Carter's role as director on the feature version. In April 2014, Voltage Pictures secured the rights to the screenplay. In July 2014, Bella Thorne was the first confirmed name, announced as the lead role, Jamie. At the same time the synopsis was revealed. In September 2014, Natalie Martinez was also confirmed. Ioan Gruffudd and Chandler Riggs completed the main cast in October. The film began filming in Altadena, CA in late November 2014.
Release
In October 2015, Screen Gems acquired distribution rights to the film, changing the title from Home Invasion to Keep Watching.
