Production Unravel was directed by RC de los Reyes under Mavx Productions and was filmed in Switzerland. "Swiss Side" in the film's name is a word play on the concept of suicide, a concept which the film heavily tackles. The film tackles the role of "human connection" in relation to suicide, or more specifically assisted voluntary death (ADV), a process which is legal in Switzerland. It also tackles anxiety and depression.
Release Unravel screened in cinemas in the Philippines as one of the eight official entries of the 2023 Metro Manila Summer Film Festival which began on April 8, 2023.
