TRIVIA

Trivia

Movie is tightly threaded to filmmaker's mother and father. The real Bill Putch appears in clips incorporated into the story. The character of Bill played by David DeLuise could also be the same 'Bill' as seen in John Putch's 'Route 30'. The film was shot at Totem Pole Playhouse where lead actor Wil Love has appeared in over 100 shows since 1971.

The history of this theater and a lot of the archival footage seen in the film are directly linked to "This Is My Father", a documentary by filmmaker John Putch.
