My Johnny was originally written to be a full-length feature film. Vincent de Ghoulie plans to return to it with a larger budget. The initial funding came from a golfer at a country club, and crowd-funding. The golfer hated every bit of the final product.
While shooting, Vincent de Ghoulie and DOP, Brad Hoffarth, invoked the spirit of their film teacher, George Kuchar. The final product is a dedication and homage to Kuchar.
DOP, Brad Hoffarth, wrote and directed all of the content involving Johnny's father and the 1997 flashback with Eric Grut in the park.
Almost all of the dialogue is dubbed.
