The DGA (Directors Guild of America) withheld Director James Franco's last paycheck in order to pay the crew.
In order to keep his budget down, James Franco used extras in scenes that should have contained stuntmen.
During the shooting of this film, James Franco noticed Josh Hutcherson, and offered him the lead role in his upcoming project, The Long Home (2018).
Although the location of the plot is held in California, parts of the movie were shot in Tieton, Washington.
