Most of the interiors and exteriors of the Psychiatric Hospital were shot on location in actual abandoned hospitals on Long Island, NY.
The paintings and sketches appearing in the film by the lead character Chet, were actually done by artist Justyna Kijek. Chet's photos of the psychiatric hospital were taken by writer-director Michael D. D'Andrea.
