Windowbreaker was shot on location in Randolph and Quincy, Massachusetts. Raymond and Fiona, our two child leads, were chosen from over forty children who responded to open calls in Chinese schools in Boston.
Ai Cheng, who plays the mother in the film, is actually the director's mother.
The house in the film is the house the director grew up in. The kids drawings on the walls were made by the director and his sister when they were young.
