Beetles on a Billboard

Despite the script being inspired by events in Cameron Metrejean's own life, director Matt Garvin asked that he not think about those events for the scenes where he was angry or emotional and instead recommended he draw from a different experience. When asked, the first experience Cameron brought up was an incident 5 years prior when a group of former friends he'd gone on annual beach trips with had planned the next year's trip behind his back. When Cameron found out they told him he wasn't invited and he was devastated. Garvin said that experience was appropriate and to draw from that.
