Production
Much of the principal photography took place at the director's home in Pacific Beach, San Diego. In an interview with 'San Diego Reader', Sivertson said inspiration was discovered from the album 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea' by Neutral Milk Hotel. It contained references to Anne Frank and the songwriter felt haunted by her after reading 'The Diary of Anne Frank'.
Release
The film screened at the Museum of Photographic Arts and San Diego Jewish Film Festival before a theatrical release in Los Angeles. It was distributed by Indie Rights.
Reception
An article by 'The Forward', Talya Zax claims the idea of Anne Frank surviving is overdone. Kimber Myers at 'Los Angeles Times' says "the issue isn't the lack of money; it's the choices made by the filmmakers."
