Matt Hagerty directed the scenes he was not acting in from FaceTime in Cornell University's Mann Library. In fact, all of post-production took place remotely while Hagerty completed his second (and final) year at Cornell. As a result, Hagerty and co-star Jaimie Steck, who plays his ex-girlfriend in the film, have never met in person.
Emmy-winning actor Richard Schiff, who compared Matt Hagerty's dialogue-writing talents to those of his "The West Wing"_ creator Aaron Sorkin read off-camera with Seth Russell for his initial audition for The Drak (playing Hagerty's role of AJ Fitzpatrick). Schiff is also rumored to be responsible for the first sketch of the "bell curve" that features in the film when working with Russell for his audition.
The percussive score was inspired by the Broadway musical Hamilton, as a way of keeping the rhythm of the fast-paced dialogue without sacrificing comprehension.
The percussive, fragmented score also serves as a unit of chronology: if the film were played in linear narrative order, the score would be perfectly continuous.
All fraternities and sororities referenced in the film are real, with the exception of Psi Alpha.
