Filmed in four days. Edited over a period of ten days.
SPOILER: When David gets shot in the face, the intention was to show the impact. Three life-size dummy-heads were built by Black Orc Studios and then blown up. In the editing stages the filmmakers realized that the effect did not quite fit in and decided to leave it out. The effect was one of the highest production costs of the entire production.
The film is the main crew's final student-film.
