First Shift marks Boll's formal return to filmmaking after at least five years on hiatus from the industry, during which time he set up a now-defunct upscale restaurant in Vancouver and directed a documentary; as such, it is his first American film since Rampage: President Down.[1][6] Filming on First Shift began and completed in March 2023, on location in New York City. Despite legal hurdles over allegations of unfair labor practices committed on set (which Boll denied), it premiered in his native Germany at the Independent Days International Filmfest, on April 10, 2024, and is scheduled for a wide release in the United States and Canada in September 2024.
