[1][2][3][4][5] Kleyla had been himself an actor since 1991 when he performed in an equity production of Evita at Daytona Beach Community College.

Kleyla had been wanting to create a documentary about Indiana Jones fandom, and it was the announcement of the fourth film of the series that acted as his impetus.

[2][4] The film's initial scenes were shot at New Haven, Connecticut where the director had hoped to catch the filming of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, following which production went to San Diego Comicon for additional fan interviews, then interviews with designers of the Indiana Jones attraction at Disney World, interviews with some peripheral members of the Jones production team: whip trainer Anthony DeLongis, costumer Deborah Nadoolman-Landis, and stunt doubles Vic Armstrong and Wendy Leech.

In panning the film, they wrote that they "threaten to be interesting on occasion, but the interviews do nothing to reinforce the filmmaker's thesis, because he doesn't have one."

They expanded that while films such as Star Wars and Star Trek series are famous for their fans, "Indy devotees politely and proudly separate themselves from folks who prefer films set in an era of intergalactic travel".
