Lead actress Ksenia Delaveri is a professional singer who was born and raised in Russia.
The stuffed cat featured in the beginning of the movie was taken (with permission) from a 2011 art installation by street artist Mr. Brainwash.
Prior to shooting the film, director Leland Douglas shot a "video storyboard" by taking still photos of every shot in the film using stand-in actors for the then-uncast roles.
