Director Lisa Downs became pen pals with Joey Cramer whilst he was completing his jail sentence. Filming began only a few months after his release.
Two noticeable omissions from the original cast in this documentary are Paul Reubens (Max, credited as Paul Mall) and Sarah Jessica Parker (Caroline McAdams).
Due to the Covid19 lockdown in 2020, the final interviews were completed remotely. This included Keri Rogers via zoom, and Edward Eyth's son Aidan Eyth filmed his interview on an iPhone X.
