Set twenty years in the future, Hive Mind has a scene in which Doug Trench discusses President Barack Obama's Nobel Peace Prize. But "Hive Mind" was written and shot six months before Obama won it.
Since the film was set twenty years in the future, the director, Ladd Ehlinger Jr., had various posters designed and printed for movies he had not made yet to decorate the main set, including "Yankee", "Headbox", "Hinge", and "Cyberiad".
