What's left behind the scenes

With the exception of a few scenes, the entire film was shot using a handheld, non-professional camera.
During the scene where the girls inhale computer dust spray and hit each other, Nikki Reed was genuinely hurt.
Due to the film's low budget, the girls' clothing came from their own wardrobes.
Originally, Nikki Reed was supposed to play the role of Tracey.
Filming of the low-budget movie took place in an ordinary house on Babcock Avenue in Los Angeles, which was rented for a short period. Brady Corbet, who played Mason in the film, lived just a block away and could easily walk to the set each time. School scenes were filmed at Portola Middle School, with extras consisting of ordinary students and members of the film crew.
The film's plot is partially based on events from the life of actress and co-writer Nikki Reed, who experienced a difficult period at the age of 12-13.
Most of the adult actors agreed to a reduced fee, becoming interested in the script they liked.
The entire two-million-dollar budget was raised through share offerings via independent companies, which in return for their investment received a certain portion of the film rights.
The entire scriptwriting process took 6 days.
Although Brady Corbet plays the heroine’s older brother in the film, he is actually almost a year younger than Evan Rachel Wood.
Tracey’s phrase “What the fuck did you do,” which she exclaims when Evie gets a belly piercing, was not in the script and blurted out spontaneously after Nikki Reed accidentally pierced the upper part of her navel with the needle.
Vanessa Anne Hudgens's debut film.
In the scene where Brady picks up Tracy on the road after school, the car unexpectedly stalled, and the film crew had to push it from behind, staying out of camera view.
Nikki Reed's tongue piercing was real, but Evan Rachel Wood's was not. The actress wore a special adhesive that periodically fell off, and she involuntarily swallowed several pieces throughout the shooting.
The cigarettes smoked by the girls in the film were mostly made of catnip, and the powder they inhaled was made of harmless food additives.
