The film project started as a short film to showcase the
talents of Justin Kreinbrink. The original script was only
35 pages long (one page on a script equals one minute of
screen time). However the story features a main character
who is mute, which makes each page last much longer. At the
end of principal photography, they ended up with a 70 minute
movie, mostly due to the amount of time needed to show the
mute's reactions.
