Production

15 Lads was Romain Cogitore's feature film directorial debut.[6] The film was inspired by the real-life experiences of Cogitore's grandfather, Antoine Cogitore, who was a resistance fighter during World War II in the Maquis of Grande Chartreuse when he was 17 years old.[7] Antoine's voice taken from a conversation between him with the director is featured at the end of the film.[7] "I find his film very good. It was made by a young person for young people. I was overwhelmed, especially when I heard my voice at the end of the film. I didn't know that he had kept an extract of my conversation with him", Antoine said of the film in 2011.[7]

The film was shot in Alsace[8] and Vosges,[7] between August and September 2009.[9]
