The story was inspired by the loss of Laura Serafini, the director's daughter. She appears in the film through home video footage.
The crew and most of the cast traveled across the States from California to Louisiana in 2 SUVs and a pick-up for 14 straight days. They stop only to sleep and shoot. They called it drive-by-shooting.
Johnny Sinclair is the son of actress LaDon Drummond and director Giorgio Serafini. He was 2 years old when shooting occurred.
