The film was shot in twenty-three days, ten of which were at the director's parents' house in Waterford, Connecticut. Other locations included the Chuang Yen Monastery in Carmel, New York, Dwight-Englewood School in New Jersey, Lawrence and Memorial Hospital in New London, Connecticut, and various apartments and bars around Manhattan.
Rossif Sutherland wrote and performed three original songs for the movie: "Yesterday," "I (Love) You" and "If Only". Mia Riverton wrote and performed one, "I Know."
Director Georgia Lee's dog, Edison, was originally cast in the film. However, he was too unruly (biting and barking at the crew) and had to be replaced by her neighbors' dog, a well-behaved Shih Tzu named Lucky.
