Screenplay was developed in the Sundance Lab.

Some of the songs referenced by Gid and/or Floyd throughout the movie include

Gid also references "Drifting Too Far From The Shore" and "Going Back To Jericho" during the ice fishing scene but he doesn't state an artist or year. There is a deleted scene in which Floyd references "I Ain't Drunk, I Am Just Drinkng" by Jimmy Liggins but Gid interrupts him before he can state the year.

In the final shot of the film, where Roy Chutney is walking from the hospital, the building in the background is the old Columbus Hospital in Great Falls, MT, built in 1929 and which has since been converted to an office and business complex called The Columbus Center.

Filming for the movie largely took place in Great Falls, Montana, and a series of small towns in the Great Falls vicinity.
