Was originally supposed to start filming 6 April 2020, but was delayed six months due to COVID shutdowns and instead began filming 1 October 2020. With the story originally being set in the spring, the script had to be changed to reflect the fall time line, although the statistics quoted in the film are all correct.
The fictitious newspaper that Max and Harriet work for, "Trenton Record", was originally called "The Trenton Post", however the newspaper office scene was filmed in the real newsroom of the "Greenfield Recorder" in Greenfield, MA and so the name was changed to "Trenton Record" as a tribute to the Greenfield Recorder for allowing the crew to film inside their newsroom.
