The film was shot in a total of 6 days with no pick-ups or re-shoots.
Since there was no money in the budget for a script supervisor, the script supervisor position is credited to Hope Ferterbest.
The film takes place at Christmas but was shot in June. The temperature during the exterior scenes was upwards of 85 degrees so digital breaths needed to be added later. Since no air conditioning could be used during the interior scenes (because of sound), the temperature inside the poker room set exceeded 90 degrees on the final day of shooting.
