This is the fourth collaboration of filmmakers Jon Hecht and Robin Wilby with Joe Hansard. The trios previous works include the films "Off Day for A Hero" (2000), "Lonesome Joe" (2001), and "The Mysterious Case Of Eldridge Birdsprout" (2002).
During filming on the streets of Manhattan, passersby often mistook actor Joe Hansard for a real homeless person, offering him food, sodas, and money.
