Trivia

Nora Zehetner was coming off Heroes and Grey's Anatomy; this was her 'I'm a princess now' pivot that nobody asked for. Released direct-to-DVD in most markets.

Cultural

This film is essentially a time capsule of 2008's 'charming indie fantasy' boom—think Ella Enchanted's less successful cousins all having a group project.
