details

• The company who made the movie is helmed by the real-life five Burton sisters.
  
  
• The film equipment was stolen during shooting, threatening to shut down the film - but it was returned a day later by a pawn-shop owner. The pawn-shop owner only said, "I want the sisters to keep making their movie." (the robbers also left their real names and address at the pawn shop.)
  
  
• This is the third film from the five sisters of Five Sisters Productions. For this one, they optioned a script written by their mother, and asked their father to retire from his job to join them to work on the movie.
  
  

• The filmmakers are donating part of their proceeds from the film to the charity "Habitat For Humanity".
  
  
• The sisters' parents play cameos in their films. In this one they are the bickering dance couple.
  
  
• Jerry Orbach's final film.
