The man who buys drugs from Brian shortly before the arrest is played by Brandon Bautista. Bautista played Brian in the original "Some Are Born" short film when he was in college.

In the scene when DJ buys drugs in Brian's apartment, the book that Brian is reading is "American Salvage" by Bonnie Jo Campbell. The book is a collection of short stories, most notably containing "The Solutions to Brian's Problem," which was adapted by director Bret Miller in 2011.

Many members of the crew also doubled as extras. Both First Assistant Director Steve Vavro and Production Manager Victor Lord had fairly large roles as Geoff and DJ, respectively.

The script was originally written around 2000 as a short film. It was reworked into a feature around 2002, and was shelved until 2012. At that time, Director Bret Miller approached Writer Bill Vincent about producing the film.

Many members of the crew were classmates at Michigan State University. Principle Photography began two days after their commencement ceremony had concluded.

Director Bret Miller and the art department studied films of David Fincher and Steven Soderbergh as inspiration for the feel of the film.

The title for the film comes from the poem "Auguries of Innocence," by William Blake.

Rock candy was used to simulate the crystal meth on screen. The marijuana used was the same synthetic chemical used during the production of Ананасовый экспресс: Сижу, курю (2008).

In the bathroom scene with Guy and Bigman, there are some graffiti on the wall that says "Spread the Rumor." This is the unofficial phrase used by Rumor Productions, the company who produced the film.

In the opening scene, Mr. Walters (Dennis Kleinsmith) is appalled by the idea of his son getting a tattoo. Betty mentions how cool a long dragon tattoo would look on young Brian. In reality, it is Dennis Kleinsmith who has a large dragon tattoo on HIS arm. This was purely coincidental, as the tattoo gag was in the script long before Kleinsmith was cast.
