In the beginning of the film, the nerd has a sandwich bag placed prominently on his desk. This is a reference to an earlier short, also named "Sandwich", that Nick Logan and James Sullivan worked on together.
The titles are done in the same handwriting as the nerd.
Edited in Final Cut Pro, sound mixed in Soundtrack Pro and the visual effects were done in After Effects.
Filmed entirely in one day (May 15th, 2009).
There was originally an FX shot of the reflections in the many little eyes of the Fly as it was being chased by the nerd. This was intended to be one of the defining visuals of the short. However, when Nick Logan showed an early version to his class, they were confused by the FX shot and thought that it was another version of the Fly's POV. Nick eventually left the shot on the cutting room floor.
