• The bar used in the film is called Snug Harbor Bar and Grill and is located in downtown New Paltz, NY. Bar regulars were used as background extras.

• When asked what message she wants to express with the film, Liz Garcia said, "I'm never trying to make a statement about morality ever. If there's a statement to be made, it's 'People are complicated. They do things that may hurt other people, or exploit other people, but they may do them for the right reasons, or out of desperation.' I don't judge that sort of 'bad' behavior. I'm only interested in a world where people break outside of the norm, and I believe people do whatever they have to do to relieve themselves of pain. I just want to watch and see how that plays out."

• Liz Garcia said she first wrote the script when she was 24 in response to an onslaught of "hideous teen-boy gross-out comedies." But, she added, since the industry treats female writer-directors like niche oddities, it took more than a decade, and directing 2013's black comedy The Lifeguard, for her to find financing and support.
