    • Trivia
      Ramaa Mosley first learned about Tim Macy after typing "best Short Story" on google. The two later met online and decided to make the short story that was to be "The Brass Teapot" into a comic book before adapting it to film.
    • Goofs
      When John and Alice are in the library, Alice rips a page out of the "Magical Objects and Potions" book while John is distracted. He then begins to read about some dangers of the teapot on the lower right edge of the right-side page. Turning the page he cannot keep reading because the next page had been removed. In reality, the continuation would have been on the upper-left back side of the page he turned, which was clearly full of text.
    • Quotes

      John: Baby, just tell me what the hell happened?

      Alice: I fell down the stairs.

      John: We don't have stairs.

    As Ramaa Mosley's debut film, "The Brass Teapot" shines.
    Ramaa Mosley's debut film "The Brass Teapot" stands out as an enjoyable indie flick. Having been a fan of Juno Temple for quite some time, it's nice to see her breaking out into larger roles.

    The acting in the film superb, and the plot plays out well. The film is quite enjoyable all around, and makes you question your moral integrity when you put yourself in their position.

    The temptation of money is a powerful one. How far would you go to get all the money you have ever wanted?

    Ultimately, it's an enjoyable film that you should check out given the chance.
