Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ryan Dunn filmed this months before his fatal car crash in June 2011, making his brief appearance as a drug dealer unintentionally haunting.
This micro-budget indie epitomizes the 2010s 'mumblecore grief' trend, where every Holiday season needed at least one junkie redemption arc set against twinkling lights.
