Production

Director and co-writer Don McKellar said he got the idea for the film when he was at an Oscars party and found himself talking to actor Haley Joel Osment, who was then hot off the success of The Sixth Sense. Said McKellar, "He seemed to perfectly encapsulate American stardom…He was preternaturally mature, extremely young but unnatural." McKellar said the encounter was a "a potent symbol...of my experience of Hollywood.

Filming took place in Toronto from November to December 2003.
