Principal photography took place in April 2023 in Portland, Oregon.[2] Some scenes were shot along the Hawthorne Bridge.[3]
Release

Reception
Adrian Horton of The Guardian awarded the film a score of two out of five, writing "Little Wing is overall an odd, unaffecting mess, other than, again, the pigeons, who look majestic on camera. Besides an overly serious Cox, there's little to distinguish it from the many throwaway titles unceremoniously released on streaming services".[5]
