There are 17 characters with 15 speaking roles in this 7 minute short and the script was 12 pages long.
In the original ending, Brenna doesn't let her family get its revenge against Smith. In the second to last draft, Telly has not already killed Smith.
There are 7 actors under the age of 18, ranging from 6 years old to 16 years old. Six of these are speaking roles and 4 of them made their film debut in this short.
The original title was Home. The second revision title and the title on the script given to the actors the morning of the shoot was Coming Home. Famiglia was not made the title until final edit, so the release forms had to be corrected with the new title.
