Production

Much of the film was shot on Staten Island.

Shihabi and Naikli used an Iraqi dialect coach, one of Nakli's friends, to refine their Arabic. Shihabi's native dialect is a form of Levantine Arabic while she used Iraqi Arabic in the film.

Nakli also served as an associate producer in recognition of the contributions he made to the film.

The director, Mullin, used suggestions from the actors to shape the film and there were periods where actors improvised.

At the end of the movie, the song "Havre de Grace" by Zerobridge was played.
