Shooting of The Revelation took place in different locations across the capital such as Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, an art studio of Uttara and at Moderna Museet Mane Museum of Stockholm, Sweden.

The role of the protagonist is played by Safwat Tasnia Priyanka. The cinematography is done by Shariful Islam Shamim. Kalpopriya Chowdhury, Marium Mahzabin and Fairuja Krishty recorded the music and sound for the film. Shourav, the director himself, is behind the production, art direction, colour correction and editing of the short film.
