The entire film was shot during one 9-hour day.
More than 300 submissions were received for each role before deciding on the final cast.
The film was originally cast under the working title "Redd Gray", but was changed in favor of Sylvester Wiley because both sly and Wiley can be synonym for the word sneaky.
Actress Laura Michl is only seen in shots where she is standing still in the movie, because she injured her foot just before production. You can see her walking boot in one wider scene.
