A rough cut of "Lost in New Mexico" was screened unofficially at a festival in 2007 under the working title, "No Sex for Susan Hero", and was mistaken by some sources to be the film's actual release. The movie was subsequently re-titled and re-released under the title, "Lost in New Mexico: the Strange Tale of Susan Hero", which is the official, final release version (2009)
