In Culver City, California, the Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery was the location for this film's
funeral service which was picketed by unsympathetic protesters.
The funeral protesters were modeled after the real-life behavior of Pastor Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas. "GOD HATES FAGS" is the poster message and slogan popularized by Phelps and his dogmatic and opinionated followers. In 2014, Fred Phelps died during the same year that this short film was produced.
