Hustwit ran a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2016 to raise initial funding for the film.[1] The film examines Rams' influence on modern design, his work for Braun and Vitsoe, and his philosophies on sustainability and consumerism.[2]

The film was announced in June 2016,[3][4][2] and was released in the Fall 2018.[5]

English musician Brian Eno composed the film's music. A soundtrack album of the score, Rams: Original Soundtrack, was to be released on 18 April 2020 to commemorate Record Store Day,[6] until the event was postponed.
