"A Certain Point of View" was originally intended to be the sequel project to producers Derek Klein and Marc Morin Jr.'s television series "One Fine Day!". However, when pre-production began, the creative development team decided that transitioning the series to film would not be a worthwhile task, and after certain key actors were unable to sign-up for the film due to scheduling conflicts, that original idea was scrapped for the new storyline.
In the original script three different people are identified as the killer so that cast members would not know themselves until after filming was completed. This kept the information from being released to the public, but also leaves some sense of suspense for the cast and crew. The idea of shooting multiple endings and story lines has become a trademark of Director/Writer Derek Klein.
Bob Dignan was originally cast as Clark Williams, however, he had to be released a month prior the beginning of production. Connor Chambers stepped in as his replacement.
An animated image of producer/writer Marc Morin Jr. is hidden somewhere in the film. This "Where's Waldo" tactic is a trademark of Klein and Morin and the image is in every piece of work the two have produced together.
Actual production of the film lasted on six days, with most of the film being shot during the University of Illinois' Spring Break. This allowed more flexibility in the schedules of those actors who were still students, and also allowed for less on set interruptions, which the cast and crew experienced during their previous project which was also shot in at the University.
