Adrienne Shelly, The Writer & Director of This Movie along with a few other movies (she was also an actress) was tragically Murdered in 2006 while editing her latest film (Waitress) Starring Keri Russell, Whom Shelly herself had an acting role in. Her Killer almost got away with it if it wasn't for smart police work. However he only got 25 Years behind bars, which is no justice at all. Rest In Peace.
