Filming took place in the summer of 1976 in San Francisco.
According to star/friend George Kuchar, writer/director Curt McDowell penned the script in Yosemite National Park while high on LSD.
Marion Eaton, who plays the mother, was also a primary financial supporter of the film. Writer-director Curt McDowell didn't have the money to complete the film, which sat unfinished for several years, so Eaton helped him raise funds to get the film completed and a print struck.
In 2014, the film was among those chosen for preservation by The National Film Preservation Foundation.
'Curt McDowell' first announced his ideas for the movie to Marion Eaton and Melinda McDowell as they were riding home from the Filmex world premiere of Thundercrack! (1975).
