Back in April of 2022, this film was considered a finalist for the Best Comedy Film Award at the Texas Short Film Festival (2022).
This film was included in the official selection for the 2022 Houston Comedy Film Festival in Houston, Texas.
This is the third short film director, Nicholas Coker, has directed.
The film was developed as an attempt to go "as small as possible." Nicholas Coker was, for the first time, without the resources he had been granted for his student films and planned to make something with as much minimalism as possible-no set, a small crew, and actable by himself and his friends. The film had a total of 8 crew members, including Coker, and cost only $100 to make.
Nicholas Coker appears barefoot as The First Man. On set, he wore duct tape on the bottom of his feet to protect them anytime they were on camera. When off camera, he wore a pair of flip flops.
