When deciding who should play the female lead Erika (which eventually went to Christine Tarbox), the producers considered offering the role to Olivia Wilde, Rachel Price, and Ashley Olsen before realising that this was an unachievable goal.
As the short was filmed MOS (without sound), DOP Mark Darling spent the entire shoot humming the catalogue of Canadian pop star and hero Justin Bieber.
Tyler Burrows, who plays Kurt, spent the entire night before the shoot awake, learning how to juggle livestock and cutlery. He also provided lunch for the crew: chicken and goat stew.
