The majority of the short film was filmed in the studio for the campus radio station where director Mike J. McAllister went to college. There, McAllister was once the manager of the station and hosted a weekly night show with actors Alan Zahorsky and Joe Mazzotta, in which they would review movies, discuss popular culture or current events.
This short was created for the Spill.com fan film festival, as part of the first annual Spill Dot Con in Austin, Texas. It was shown in the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz. It was well received by the critics of Spill.com and it's additional judge, despite not winning the top award. To the day, as of 2015, the director is still friends with the actual Spill crew.
The lines of dialogue from when the Spill Crew reviews a film are actual quotes from their online reviews and podcasts.
