Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in a single day on a $200 budget, mostly spent on pizza for the crew. The 'new city' is actually the director's hometown.
The title's double meaning—tennis slice and 'slice of life'—wasn't intentional until post-production, when Sly realized he'd accidentally made his thesis statement.
