As an executive at 20th Century Fox, Jennifer Aniston saw an early screening of the film. When she got home, she gathered her family around the kitchen table and said, "I want you to remember this day because I just had one of the greatest experiences in my life."
Over 60% of this film was shot with a digital camcorder that was so prone to fading, it was discontinued in the early 2010s.
The film was initially budgeted at $10,000, but production problems forced the studio to contribute an additional $3,000.
In the DVD commentary, iCizzle shares that he and a friend of his read the script out loud and both wanted to play people making a difference.
iCizzle was cast under the condition that he lose 10 pounds.
