Trivia

The groupies for John Taylor's character "Clive" were real John Taylor fans recruited by Allison Anders from John's website.

The three girls that played the Carl's daughters are John Doe's children in real life.

Liz (Ally Sheedy) is seen reading a book written by "Dr. Kurt Voss, Ph.D." Kurt Voss co-wrote and directed the film.

This movie was written and filmed in less than six months, so quickly that Lucinda Jenney's actual pregnancy, which Anders and Voss had written into their script, was still ongoing when she played the part. The filmmakers may have found such spontaneity liberating, but it harmed their project as much as helped it.
