Production[edit]
"Since we filmed the movie during the summer before our final year of college, the weight of this transitional period strongly influenced the story itself. We found ourselves approaching the 'real world', not knowing exactly how to negotiate this inevitable change in our lives. What would we be doing in a year? Who would still be a part of our lives? Would everything be okay? In a way, this film is our response to these questions."
—Mainella and Jadick behind the film's meaning and inspirations.[1]
The film was produced on a low budget with filming locations around rural Pennsylvania.[2] The film has been described as "semi-autobiographical" by Mainella and Jadick because it incorporates some of their own personal storylines within fictional scenarios.[1]
Reception[edit]
Stephen Farber of The Hollywood Reporter praised the film for its cinematography saying that it makes "this rural gateway enticing" and the music for being "intermiittently engaging". However, he criticized the characters for being thinly drawn and the actors' lack of charisma. He pointed out to Brokeback Mountain, another gay film, for how it should be done.[2]
