All of the interviews and B-roll shoots were set up beforehand, except for Janet with Buds and Blossoms too which was set up and shot in the middle of a busy workday. This is why Janet is hard at work the whole interview. This in effect makes the segment more authentic and realistic.
The director, Connor McFarlane, was a frequent visitor to all but one of the locations featured in this documentary. This is what inspired him to create it.
The Spudnuts donut section had B Roll filmed, and an interview with the owner was set up. Sadly the interview fell through, and so the footage was used over Wendys segment about the Spudnuts shop. Luckily the wonderful footage was still used.
