The film will be produced by Tim White and Trevor White of Star Thrower Entertainment; Giri Tharan of Ball and Chain Productions; Rosalie Swedlin of Anonymous Content; and Elana Barry. Star Thrower Head of Production Allan Mandelbaum, who brought the project in, will also produce. Star Thrower and Ball and Chain will finance and produce. Anonymous Content who developed the project and initially set it up at Warner Brothers will also produce.

Principal photography is set to begin this month in Los Angeles.

Mysterious events occur in THE WAITING when two high school filmmakers decide to create the illusion of a haunting on an unsuspecting neighbor.
