This was Kate Daly's first role. She appeared at an open casting call in Toronto at the age of 18. The producers were so impressed with her audition, they chased her down the street after she had left to schedule an immediate call-back.
The director Nathan Oliver appeared on The Nite Show with Dan Cashman, a Maine late night talk show, to promote the home video release of the film. During the interview, he explained that the film is a direct send-up of teen serial dramas like Dawson's Creek. This is in line with interviews with Albert Melamed and Nathan Oliver from the world premiere of the film in Montreal two years prior where they mentioned using the structure of Party of Five and Gilmore Girls as inspiration for their film.
Most of the movie was filmed in a trailer park called Terrawoods.
