Dio's name was based from "Dionysus", the greek god of wine. Carson's name was based from "Carson McCullers", a writer who suffered alcoholism.
Jasmine Curtis-Smith's character, Pathy, is a vegan who requests for a different restaurant to eat in when Carson, Dio and Jason Ty plan to eat bagnet. Her character in Baka Bukas (2016), Alex, references bagnet when she explains to her friend, "Just because every one is eating bagnet, doesn't mean I have to."
Was released on DVD after a year.
