Production

The directors of the film, Andrew Seklir and Tim Kinzy, discovered Nibbler and Tim McVey's billion point high score while working together editing Battlestar Galactica. Seklir and Kinzy first visited McVey in 2008, and once the filming began, they intended for a high score competition in 2009 to serve as the film's climax, but instead found the scope of the story growing.
