Trivia

Corey Large and director Andrew Putschoegl were USC film school buddies who made this as their calling card for Hollywood. It didn't quite work.

Cultural

This is essentially a poor man's 'Garden State' released one year too late, capturing that brief era when every indie film needed a shaggy protagonist and a indie rock soundtrack.
