The title of the film refers to the legendary Nain Rouge, or Red Dwarf of Detroit. This mythic figure has been a part of Michgian lore for more than 400 years and is said to be a harbinger of doom for the Motor City. Every year on the first day of spring Detroiters participate in the Marche du Nain Rouge, where they burn an effigy of the demon spirit in an effort to drive him away from the city.

Shot in Detroit in the fall of 2010 with a cast and crew comprised entirely of Michigan-based professionals, the film showcases the city's world-class filmmaking talent.
