Shot in one weekend.
Three months work from script to Premiere.
The slaps, bumps and falls (stunts) are real and done by the actors.
The idea for making FYT was originally first discussed in 1998. But was never brought into production until 2007. Magali Gauthier (writer/director) had thrown the idea out the window not ever really considering she's make it. Until she was hired on the feature "Cold Side of the Pillow" where she became inspired again, and went back to the drawing board.
The scenes with the swans were are last minute, there was no plan to have swans in the film. They were just there. And of course for that, the biting was accidental. No animals or actors were hurt in the making of the film.
