When the character of Jake Taylor rummages through the trash, the people around the shoot thought he was an actual homeless person, and sadly paid him no mind.
A lot of the shoot was done on Hollywood Boulevard.
The character of The MC is either really present or is a figment of Jake Taylor's imagination. The director has never stated which is correct as he has left it open to the viewer for interpretation.
Jake Taylor walks through 'The Rodeo Collection' which was featured prominently in Brian Depalma's 'Body Double.'
The film 'Inland Empire' by David Lynch was a major influence on the structure and style of the plot of this movie.
