In May 2011, principal photography lasted 15 days in Austin, TX.
In September 2012, midway through post production, Jesse Alexander suffered from a manic depressive episode that was so severe, it took almost two years to fully recover, both physically and mentally; until he could efficiently attempt completing post production on the film.
Jesse Alexander and Lindsey Ryan Benavides were frequently mistaken for "real life" brother and sister while pitching "A Close Divide," and Trenton and Charlotte Close, their characters in "A Close Divide," to potential backers of the film.
In "A Close Divide," Trenton Close (Jesse Alexander) uses phrases, such as, "What's doing..." and "Believe-You-Me." These are direct references to The Howard Stern Show on Sirius/XM Radio, which Alexander claims to be a "super fan" of.
