• Three scenes featuring male frontal nudity were cut and censored for the R rated version. These were seen in the uncut festival release.

• Rejected by the Sundance Film Festival and SXSW Film Festival. Speaking with IndieWire on the Sundance rejection, Oscar Boyson said, "I think that is such a damn shame, because this movie would have slayed at Sundance. Everybody goes to Sundance looking to bring a story back to wherever they're from about something that was new and fresh. That's what Sundance used to be: a place where all the Hollywood people would show up and be reminded that there's an audience for something that pushes the boundaries a little bit more. They took my short. I know it's not a Sundance film in quotation marks, but I was very disappointed they didn't think there was a spot for this very American movie that, for me, is so tied to the Sundance movies that I grew up with that were pushing the boundaries, like an American Psycho (2000).'"
