In scene one, a pool table can be seen with numbers 9 and 16. September 16th is the Directors birthday.
Although the script was dialogue heavy, the main actors improvised the majority of their lines.
The main three young actors are of Hispanic and Afro-Latin descent.
Originally the director wanted both an English and Spanish version. However, due to the actors first filming experience the director thought it would be too strenuous and complex. On the exception of some scenes, the director did allow the actors to improvise some lines in Spanish.
Production started on April 2016 and wrapped on September 2016.
