Production
The film was produced on a low budget with filming locations around rural Pennsylvania. The film has been described as "semi-autobiographical" by Mainella and Jadick because it incorporates some of their own personal storylines within fictional scenarios.
Reception
Stephen Farber of The Hollywood Reporter praised the film for its cinematography saying that it makes "this rural gateway enticing" and the music for being "intermiittently engaging". However, he criticized the characters for being thinly drawn and the actors' lack of charisma. He pointed out to Brokeback Mountain, another gay movie for how it should be done.
