Shot in a single day at a high school during winter break. The crew thought they had the building to themselves that day, but it turned out that administration was in service, so the school's staff was working in their office a few feet away from filming. Later, a volleyball team showed up to play in the gym, and were asked to wait while the last few shots of the movie were completed.
