Trivia
The film is heavily based on the production and making of George Cukor's unfinished film "Something's Got to Give" (1962) which starred Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin & Cyd Charisse.

Original release date was planned for Summer 2011 but due to production delays and technical difficulties the film was officially released January 2012.

The script was constantly changing throughout filming. Sometimes a script for a scene wasn't finished until minutes before the shoot began.

GOOFS
Continuity issues are frequent.

QUOTES
[First line]
Max: Movies are universal. We live in an age where anyone can slip into a film, absorbed into hyper reality escaping how shitty everyone actually is. Whether it's at the IMAX or even played on a laptop, we're all united in our escapism, but I guess that's what cinema really is, its' the art of entertainment.

Director's Note: I'd like to personally apologize for the poor audio quality heard in this film. No external microphone was used due to lack of the appropriate jack in the camcorder.
