Trivia
The second shot of the film initially called for a cherry picker to slowly detail the side of the white chimney before entrance into the house, but one could not be obtained due to budget restraints.

Goofs
At the beginning of the fifth chapter, when the Manager and Conor characters smoke cigarettes in the gas station parking lot, the flashing overlaid title is misspelled "breif intermission" instead of "brief intermission".

Kevin Smith on Acid

Garrick Givens is the next David Lynch, a truly remarkably innovative and original voice exploring the normal and the abnormal with a fresh lens that has been dirtied by experience. Cadence, timing, the surreal, the real and unreal, the questions that haunt us in the early morning twilight. A must see for any fan of cinema that provokes thought and imagination. A tour de force!

Although I know Garrick personally, and have collaborated with her on several occasions, I am still in awe of her ability to transform the mundane into something extremely memorable. I believe she also scored this movie as well which could warrant its own glowing review. SEE THIS FILM.
