What's left behind the scenes
- The opening credits contain a humorous copyright notice stating that the film was supposedly shot in 1971.
- The entire film was shot on location – without sets or sound stages.
- Despite the visuals resembling films from the 1970s, the film was shot on a digital "ARRI Alexa Mini" camera, and all the characteristic features of shooting on film (image grain, halos, mechanical vibrations of the film as it passes through the camera gate, etc.) were added during post-production.
- Focus Features acquired the rights to the film for $30 million after a showing to potential buyers at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival. The film wasn't even on the list of films intended for screening, but the deal still became the largest at the festival.
- Many scenes were filmed at the Fairhaven, Massachusetts high school during spring break. Fortunately, a snowstorm hit the town during those days, which pleased the film crew, as the plot involves some events taking place during a snowstorm. Therefore, the snow shown in the film is not artificial, but natural.
- According to Dominic Sessa, the hardest scene to film was the ice skating scene. Sessa used to play hockey, and falling on cue – and in a way that looked natural – turned out to be not easy.
- While filming the scene where his character calls home, Dominic Sessa "messed up" the take because he didn't know how to use a rotary dial phone and had to be shown. Somehow, it didn't occur to anyone on the film's creative team that he had never used such phones before.
