The film won a number of festival circuit awards, including Best of Show at the Woodstock Film Festival in 2008.[2] The film also got significant attention for how it was made, as it was written and shot in one month. The approach was developed by Angel and D'Angelo based on D'Angelo's concern that the biggest obstacle and expense driver with respect to producing a low budget film is the script.
