Making and distribution of this movie funded through the website, Kickstarter.
Donald is referring to Veterans Memorial Jr. High School when he says these guys went to "Vets" before playing football.
The scene where Peter goes over to Donald's house for the first time was originally shot with Donald answering the door. The filmmakers later re-shot it so that Donald is already outside taking out the trash when he sees Peter.
The scene where Donald's pants get stuck on the vine was not scripted. The actor really got stuck and he stayed in character and so they kept it in the film.
