1001 is the number of the appartment mother and son live in.
An uncredited extra in the film, Jameelah Michl, began relentlessly stalking writer/director A.V. Rockwell in the months after the film's release. She would send Rockwell gifts such as an Aladdin necklace, a "best director ever" mug, a Black Lives Matter hoodie and a photo of Langston Hughes. Michl would also send notes to her, some of them discussing her suicidal ideation, as well as tracking down both her and her mother's personal information through their social media. Rockwell ended up filing a restraining order in June 2023, but Michl's obsession didn't stop. A few days after the restraining order was granted, Michl murdered Michael Latt, a close friend of Rockwell's. Michl was later sentenced to 35 years to life.
