Sandberg, who went on to direct Annabelle: Creation and Shazam. The short film had David's wife Lotta Losten acting in it. The two did make a few more shorts, but have been inactive for the past couple of years. Now, quarantined and bored, the couple has made another short horror film, which is, again, going viral.

Sandberg is also working on the sequel of his DCEU hit, Shazam, that featured Zachary Levy as the titular superhero. The filmmaker said in an interview that the sequel might be delayed due to the ongoing COVI19 pandemic. He told Comicbook.com: "We'll see how long this goes, because I mean, we were going to start shooting this year. I mean, it feels like every movie gets delayed now, so we'll see what happens with 'Shazam!' But so far, I've been working on the script. We can still do that, so that's being done and then, yeah, we'll just see in a couple of months how it looks, you know?"
