The film's two central male characters, Thomas Norton and William Norton, played by Matthew Holmes and Darren Holmes respectively, are real life brothers.
The film was made over a number of years and shot predominantly on weekends.
This film's two dedications appearing at the star of the picture's closing credits read: "This film is dedicated to Alice Alma Norton 1908-2005, great grand-mother to Matthew [Matthew Holmes] and Darren Holmes, whose life and stories inspired the writing of this film, and Wendy Danforth 1949-2006, whose commitment and generosity toward this production is gratefully acknowledged and appreciated. Thank you, Wendy."
The movie was started when actor-director Matthew Holmes was twenty four years of age and it took a number of years to complete.
