Dirty Beautiful won the 2015 Founders Award Best Feature at the Riverside International Film Festival.
The short film of David's seen in the film is in real life Dirty Beautiful director Tim Bartell's first short film, "First Date Meltdown."
A hockey puck visible in some scenes in David's apartment is a nod to his actor (Ricky Mabe) being an avid Montréal Canadiens fan, and starring in the first Goon movie alongside his childhood friend Jay Baruchel.
