• Writer-director Shana Feste wrote the script over three months while working as a nanny in Southern California.
• Movie Goof (continuity error): In the scene where Pierce Brosnan's character is in hospital on the day of his release, the white sheet on the bed slips down and then is magically back up again. This happens several times.
• Susan Sarandon was initially reluctant to tackle the role of the grieving mother in the film as she's played similar parts in recent years, most notably in Moonlight Mile and In the Valley of Elah. She was impressed with writer-director Shana Feste's eccentric script, and the fact that the film would shoot close to her New York City-area home on a quick 28-day schedule was also appealing. Still, it took a phone call from Pierce Brosnan (who had just signed on to co-star) to finally convince her to commit to the film.
