Writer/director William Koenig forgot to bring an ice cream scoop for the shoot. After scooping the ice cream by bare hand, William washed his hands off in the ocean and infected a bee sting he received on his right hand a few days prior. Within days, his hand was so swollen he couldn't touch the tips of his index and middle fingers to his thumb. William had to see a doctor for a two week regimen of antibiotics.
