The Tweedles were inspired by the twins from 'The Shining'. The Caterpillar's character was inspired by Gary Oldman's character from 'True Romance'.
Justin Slice and Miah Allsman each wrote for separate characters. For instance, Justin wrote the Caterpillar's scenes, while Miah wrote for the March Hare. The March Hare wasn't originally included in the script. The character was added to the script after seeing Brad Coulombe's audition. The March Hare's personality was inspired by Brad Pitt's character in '12 Monkeys'.
The script originally called for a drag queen Cheshire Cat character but the scenes were cut due to scheduling conflicts with the actress.
Through Dark Glass was an Official Selection of the Hong Kong Art House Film Festival 2016.
