Producer Matt Rush designed the shot in the film where the camera follows Lenny up the staircase after he hears the sound of the chainsaw. The shot was pulled of by having Rush follow Lenny up the stairs with the camera and in mid shot, pass the camera, smoothly and slowly up to Trapani, who was waiting to receive it at the top of the stairs. It took six takes in order to pull of a smooth, invisible pass on screen. This "pass the camera" technique was also how the shot of Lenny jumping over the fence was done.
The character who is shot in the back of the head at the beginning of the film is actually the on set recordist, Henry Myers.
Rick Rodgers (Joey) lived in Albany during production and would travel two hours on every production day in order to be in the film. Despite being the furthest in distance he was the only cast member with little to no tardiness.
Because the cast and crew had work, school, or both to deal with, the film was shot solely on the weekends. It took a month worth of weekend days to complete the film.
The project was based on a short film Writer/Director Gus Trapani made while attending film school.
