    • Trivia
      The "eggplant subplot" was originally not written in the screenplay at all. Rather, it was worked into the film while actually shooting. Director Daniel Kremer remembered someone saying "What do you feed your eggplant?" in a dream he had from which he had awakened laughing. In directing the opening scene, director Daniel Kremer told actor William Cully Allen to, somehow and in some way, work the absurdist line into the dialogue and to see where it took him in the scene. Allen's delivery of the line allowed a facet of his character (his fixation with eggplants) to be played out and explored in the movie as a comical quirk of the character.
