The screenplay was actually adapted from a previous drama written by Peter Macaluso where the protagonist goes crazy after having a secret affair with a famous actress.
The decision to name the character "Mack Hanglider" was the result of a conversation very similar to what is shown in the movie where directors Mark and Peter Macaluso threw around random names until stumbling upon "Mack".
Many of Ben's lines were ad-libbed by actor, 'JP McCloskey'. Including the "Gay Lumberjack" line which was originally in the first scene, but moved to the food court after an editing conflict.
All music was performed by local bands, with the exception of "Wish It was You" which was originally written by Asst. Director Mark Macaluso and recorded for the film.
Although set in the middle of the summer, the "Streaking" scene was shot during temperatures in the mid-20s.
