The filming of Carlo Aquino, Gio Gahol, and Dolly de Leon commenced on November 30, 2022.

[15] Paul Enicola of The Asian Cut praised The Missing for highlighting "the vital role a healthy dose of support system can play in helping someone to navigate their journey toward vanquishing their personal monsters (or aliens, for that matter)."

He also added that the film "speaks volumes to the potential of adult animated storytelling in the country, more so when there are a million more Philippine stories waiting to be told.
