The 150-minute movie was released in a limited number of theaters in October of 2021, and has received a rating of PG-13. It was written and directed by newcomer Fran Kranz. Mass has some strong language and subject matter that might be upsetting for some viewers.

Mass shootings in the United States continue to happen at an alarming rate. Idaho has also been impacted by on-campus gun violence. Two 2021 incidents took part just months from one another at Rigby Middle School, which is located just 170 miles northeast of Twin Falls. In both incidents, school staff was credited with quickly intervening and helping to avoid further injury.
