• The film's screenplay reflects the experiences of its author, Scott Rosenberg, upon returning to his hometown in Massachusetts. According to his own words, it was the worst winter in the city's history, and he was waiting to see if his screenplay, "Air Prison," would be put into production, while thinking he was getting tired of writing action movie scripts. As Rosenberg said, he became much more interested in writing about his friends who were turning 30 and their problems.
