The title of the film comes from a line in the Edgar Allen Poe poem on which the film's story is based; "Years of love have been forgot, In the hatred of a minute."
This movie was originally only going to be a Super-8 short for small Super-8 film festivals around the world.
The film was originally intended to use various media (à la Natural Born Killers (1994)) as different realities within the movie; Super-8 Color and B&W, 16mm color and B&W, Hi-8 (this was pre-digital pro-sumer video), etc. This idea was scrapped, the idea being that if the filmmakers had to do a film cut, all of the footage wouldn't be on one medium and would be too costly to transfer. The same multi-media idea was used for a short film by Michael Kallio, Broken Wing: A Fable (2003).
The movie was actually shot in the late summer and early fall of 1995, it took 8 years to complete.
Bruce Campbell: appears twice near the end while Jamie watches T.V., a bad Detroit produced soap opera called "Generations". In the first, he orders a gin and tonic, in the second, he argues with a woman (his real life ex-wife).
