Writers Alexah S. Kim and Billy Moon actually collaborated in a cafe by writing down three possible story outlines a month before filming began. They ultimately chose the mother and daughter concept based on a story idea by Alexah S. Kim.
The film's main subject addresses the challenges of growing up within a Korean culture between parents and their children.
The hospital and detective scenes were shot in the lower floors of Westwood United Methodist Church.
This short film marks the second time Cameron Fay and Diep Tran have acted together. They previously worked together in a spec commercial for a contest.
Cameron Fay improvised the line, "Should I take my shoes off?," when he enters Melissa's mother's apartment.
