• At the beginning of the movie the cast are trying out for various parts in the play. These are actual audition tapes used to cast the movie.

• In an effort to ensure a livable wage, everyone was provided the same wage, and offered ownership stakes in the film. To determine how equity was received, the movie was divided into five phases: development, prep, production, postproduction, and promotion. For contributors such as a sound recordist on the film, equity would be collected through the production phase, whereas for those involved with all stages, such as a producer or star, would receive equity from all phases.

• The character of Mike Mike is played by Sean San Jose, who has been Colman Domingo's real life friend for nearly fifteen years.
