The film was entirely funded by the directors and their family and friends.
The directors (who are brothers) rendered most of the special effects on their home computers, taking nine months for post production
Every interior location was a set, despite the budget of the sets being under $5,000. Most sets were acquired previously by the directors from working on advertisements, and taking the left-overs.
Most scenes were shot in only one or two takes due to the budget.
There were two months of rehearsals before filming began.
