Much of the principal photography took place at the director's home in Pacific Beach, San Diego.[2] The story was influenced by Sivertson and Amiguet's visit to the Anne Frank House.[3] In an interview with San Diego Reader, Sivertson said inspiration was discovered from the album In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel. It contained references to Anne Frank and the songwriter felt haunted by her after reading The Diary of Anne Frank.[4]
The film screened at the Museum of Photographic Arts[5][6] and San Diego Jewish Film Festival[7][8][9] before a theatrical release in Los Angeles.[10] It was distributed by Indie Rights.[11]
San Diego Reader said "this is basically a two-hander."[4] An article by The Forward, Talya Zax claims the idea of Anne Frank surviving is overdone.[12] Kimber Myers at Los Angeles Times says "the issue isn't the lack of money; it's the choices made by the filmmakers."[13]
