Matt Tory wrote the film as a semi-autobiography about the adventures he and his friends had while filming movies together as they were growing up. Most of the actors are his lifelong friends and they play exaggerated versions of themselves.
Just like in the movie, Matt Tory (Stevphen) and Jordan Hopewell (Donny) really do share the same birthday in real life: April 12.
Jonathan Holmes (Garth) and Matt Silver (Curtis) really were roommates at the time of filming. They shared the apartment that serves as the setting for Garth and Curtis' apartment in the film.
