Used is the 2nd film in Nilsson's 9 @ Night series. The 9 @ Night film series, nine feature films sharing characters and circumstance with dialogue improvised by the Players, received the San Francisco Film Critic's Circle Marlon Riggs Award for courage and innovation in cinema in 2008. Seven of the films, Stroke (2000), Singing (2000), Scheme C6 (2001) and Need (2005), Pan (2006), Used (2007) and Go Together (2007) had their World Premieres at the Mill Valley International Film Festival.
Though Nilsson shot this film nearly last, it was placed 2nd in the 9 @ Night Film Series.
Each of Nilsson's films in the award winning 9 @ Night Series begins at 9:00 PM.
The World Premiere marathon screening of all 9 feature films from the 9 @ Night Film Series took place at the Harvard Film Archive in 2007.
