According to the film’s IMDB page, the project is being produced by Bold Films, Participant Media and Relativity Studios.  Bold’s Gary Michael Walters will executive produce with Participant’s Jeff Skoll. A recent article in Variety stated that Ric Roman Waught actually went undercover as a volunteer parole agent in California to research what happens behind prison walls for the film. In the article, Waught also commented that “No one knew I was a filmmaker…  they just saw me as a rookie cop, so nothing was censored. What I quickly learned is the guards might control the doors and gates, but the gangs run the prisons… and they run the streets as well, directly from prison. ‘Shot Caller’ is an authentic look at our prison gangs and the law enforcement professionals who guard them inside prison walls.”
