Craig Hamann's friend Roger Avary acted as a producer primarily to help his friend get meetings with potential financiers. Roger was valuable to Craig in several ways on the film, especially during post production. He edited "Boogie Boy" down from 112 minutes to 99 minutes. After acquiring the distribution rights, Imperial Entertainment used his name to advertise the film as coming from "the Academy Award winning writer of Pulp Fiction (1994)", thus tricking consumers into thinking the movie was 1) from Quentin Tarantino and 2) actually written by the writer of Pulp Fiction. Both Craig Hamann and Roger Avary were displeased about this.
The original title of the film was always "Boogie Boy." Sometimes distributors would change the title, given the language in the country it was being released because they thought it would sell better. Also, "Boogie Boy" had some negative meanings and connotations in other countries.
MTV News visited the set of the film during production for a report, but they were unable to get any information out of co-star Emily Lloyd. When asked to give her take on the script and its characters, Lloyd responded, "I don't know what this picture is about because I haven't seen it."
More overt references to homosexual acts the characters engaged in in prison were forcibly cut by the producers in an effort to broaden the film's appeal.
An actual abandoned drug house was used in the movie. The production crew had to pick up old and broken syringes, used condoms, and empty foils that used to hold heroin and/or methamphetamines from the floor before shooting inside the house.
