At $25,000, this is Edward Burns's lowest budgeted film since his directorial debut The Brothers McMullen (1995).
The actors, all unknowns, did their own hair and wardrobes to cut costs.
Shot in 10 days with a crew of three people working for free (however, they have shares in the film's profits).
To further cut costs, Edward Burns found free locations to shoot in, partly in thanks to family and friends.
At the beginning of the film, lead character "Johnny" takes an on-air call from Danville, California. This is a reference to the hometown of Edward Burns' wife Christy Turlington.
