All of the scenes inside the shed were filmed in New Orleans during the week before Hurricane Katrina hit. The director/DP evacuated to his family's farm in Aubrey, Texas shortly before the hurricane where the film was subsequently completed using a different shed for the exterior. All of the exterior scenes were done in Texas as well as a few non-shed interiors.
The Mother character was played by two actresses due to scheduling reasons. One of the actors was the real mother of the actress playing the Daughter. The other was her high school drama instructor.
