Production.
Principal photography for "Donkeyhead" began in Regina, Saskatchewan on January 18, 2021, on a $2 million budget. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the film's crew had to follow various safety measures and protocols, such as getting tested frequently for the virus, practicing social distancing, and wearing facemasks while on set. According to co-producer Kelly Balon, the pandemic resulted in an additional $50,000 to the production costs of the film.
One of the opening scenes of the film, in which Mona falls off her bike, was shot seven times with stuntman Jason Truong. Filming concluded after a month on February 12, after shooting scenes in various locations around the city, including at the Fat Badger, Hotel Saskatchewan, several funeral homes, and an old house at Victoria Avenue; Marian Wihak served as a production designer.
