Premiered in Los Angeles at the 2015 Studio City International Film Festival, where the film swept the Dramatic Feature category, picking up awards for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Film.
Prior to the casting of English actor Ben Bellamy and Australian actor Stewart Finlay-McLennan, the characters Caleb and Coach Winters were written as Americans.
Although never mentioned onscreen, the film is set largely on Treasure Island in the San Francisco Bay, the location of the fictitious St. Eligius Preparatory School. This is most evident by the view of the Bay Bridge during the rugby sequences and finale.
Filmed in 20 days.
