Many interior scenes were filmed in an abandoned apartment building at 351 Victor Street in Winnipeg. The building had been condemned by the city earlier in 1987, and had no running water or heat when the film crew starting using it a few months later. Eight indoor sets were constructed with 1960s decor, including Rabbi Teitelman's apartment, and the Glick house. After the film's production was complete, the city finished renovating the building for low cost housing.

Klezmer music is performed by the Winnipeg-based band Finjan.
