The names Christy and Denny are taken from two former baseball greats: Christy Mathewson of the New York Giants and Denny McLain of the Detroit Tigers.
The ending was conceived on the day of the shoot by Andre Martinez.
Filming commenced a mere week after Hurricane Wilma struck south Florida, and the power was still out in many locations.
Shot in the wake of Hurricane Wilma, guerrilla style.
The four-hour shoot was produced on a budget of $50 (this including money for pizza at the end of the day).
