 * Ezra Miller as Dana Winston, a visual effects artist.
 * TBA as Tim, Sean's best friend and the producer of Beyond the Desert.
 * TBA as Janus Rocher, a painter, set designer and creature animator.

Production
Jamie Shertick worked on the project in secrecy and took on an approach similar to and  movies; the title used on set was Beyond the Desert, which was the name of the film-in-film, and the cast and crew were strictly told to be silent about the film.

Shertick mentioned in an interview that the secrecy was a challenge, when it came to Tom Holland, so he accompanied Tom wherever he went and reminded him to not spoil it at all on a daily basis. "He was a real pain in the ass. Tom was really tempted and tried to excuse it by asking "oh what if i wanted to let people know where I was going?" and I just instantly shot it down and said "don't say anything at all, just walk" and that was probably when I sorta [sic] lost hope. Luckily he kept his word, mostly. He did say he was working on a film and that's it?"

It was toured around Sundance FIlm Festival, Berlin International Film Festival, South by Southwest, and Moscow International Film Festival, among numerous other film festivals.

When it was shown in the 76th Venice International Film Festival, Shertick released a full-length blog post about the making of the film, and announced in a footnote that it will be released worldwide on November 8, 2019.
