Production

The film was filmed in 2007, but not released until 2011 due to the difficulties of finding a distributor.[4] The director, Tim Chambers, had a potential distribution deal with Disney, but turned it down because Disney wanted to add coarse language to earn PG rating, but Chambers preferred to go for a G rating.[5] Chambers worked out a deal with Freestyle Releasing, and the movie opened four years after completing the filming.

Some scenes were shot at West Chester University in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

Some scenes were shot at The Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania.
