The fictitious town Naaman's Creek was named after the director's father.
Director Jeffrey Stoltzfus notes that one film influenced the tone of "Victim's Song" more than any other: Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976). It is for this reason that Travis shares his first name with the main character in "Taxi Driver" Travis Bickle. This is also the reason why Bucky makes a reference to Scorsese in one scene.
With such long hours on set and the graphic nature of the movie, certain scenes involving child actors were filmed twice. First without any f/x makeup and with both actors, then again with full makeup and blood effects minus the child actor.
Filmmaker Jeffrey Stoltzfus left some roles non-specific as to gender, allowing him to simply pick the best actor during casting.
