Trivia

Swanberg shot this in 10 days with no script, letting the cast improvise their actual relationship tensions into fiction.

Cultural

Part of the 'mumblegore' movement where microbudget horror directors applied DIY ethics to relationship drama — this premiered alongside Swanberg's 'Art History' and 'The Zone' as a trilogy of films about filmmaking.
