According to a RUSiriusRadio.com pod-cast interview, Director Terry Zwigoff based his direction for Ethan Suplee in Art School Confidential (2006) on the way Troy Duffy acts as a director in this documentary.
Troy Duffy has disavowed this documentary, stating that directors Tony Montana and Mark Brian Smith left many things out and "Their anger at me overrode their judgment as filmmakers. That's the tragedy of it. And they stabbed everybody who ever helped them in the back."
A working title was "Drunk and Poor", named after a song by Duffy's band The Brood.
Filmed over four years.
