The film was made on a very low budget. Many local companies sponsored it or gave their services for free, and many residents of Kingston Bagpuize (the main filming location) helped with production and appeared as extras.
An actress from Florida in the USA , after realizing she couldn't be cast in the film, volunteered to help from across the pond in other ways. One of them was to write online articles. She communicated often with one of the production people, and after the film wrapped he wrote to her giving special thanks and a "title." She was given the title of "U.S. Correspondent." The actress is Deborah Smith Ford.
