Before filming began, Alex Withrow sent lead actress Catherine Warner three movies to help her get into character: Ingmar Bergman's Cries and Whispers, Krzysztof Kieslowski's Blue and Lynne Ramsay's Morvern Callar.
Director Alex Withrow often gave verbal direction to Catherine Warner during scenes.
The first draft of the script was written in October 2011. Alex Withrow and Catherine spent several months tightening and developing the script before shooting in April 2012.
The film was shot in five days in Los Angeles.
