Mark Manjardi funded the film himself after being paid to write a non-union TV movie.
The director (Mark Manjardi) plays the laundromat robber - this plays off the idea that directors often cast themselves in their first movies (Ron Cunningham casts himself as Ted Fin).
Was shot in nine days over the span of three weeks (mostly on weekends).
Inspiration for the film stemmed from Tropic Thunder, Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, and Following.
