Production

Director Francesco Giannini became interested in Hall after being approached by screenwriter Adam Kolodny. Giannini had previously worked with co-writer Derrick Adams and was intrigued by the question "what would happen if vaccines were created intentionally for purposes of government control and for the profit of the pharmaceutical industry, not necessarily to cure viruses?" The film marked the feature film directorial debut of Giannini, who had previously directed short movies and worked as an actor and extra.

Actress Yumiko Shaku was brought on to portray Naomi, one of the film's protagonists. Giannini has noted that Shaku was "an integral part in getting HALL made" and that "Without Yumiko’s involvement, the film would not have the same impact." Filming took place in a working hotel over twelve days and used primarily practical effects, as Giannini wanted it to be "an ode to the older horror films from the ’70s and ’80s that helped inspire my love of cinema".

Release

Hall premiered on August 30, 2020, at FrightFest.
