Writers Marena Gloth and Delaney Gregg kept the script from actor Jake Jacobs for months so that he could properly play off being oblivious.
At the end of a day of shooting, boom operator Andrew McMichael got a bloody nose, cinematographer Nora Marris knocked over a lamp, the camera ran out of battery, Marena Gloth couldn't remember her lines--all within a span of about 2 minutes. The series of mishaps was all caught on camera and compiled into a BTS video called "A Metaphor for this Production."
During Delaney Gregg's fake fall, she actually fell on the ground and still has a mark on her knee.
Jake Jacobs hid behind a couch for about an hour while Mercedes and Delaney tried to remember all their lines.
