The working title of the film was Blue Potato, which plays a prominent role in the movie. The vegetable can be seen as a metaphor for Casper and Dominic: unique individuals useless in their natural habitat, but who could be profitable if they managed to leave.
Bill Burr was offered a role but was unable to accept it due to scheduling conflicts.
The main characters from the film have actual facebook pages, used in the film.
Casper and Dominic are reading "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton in school, which is a story of troubled teen boys who have many similarities to this movie's characters.
