Writer/Director Jason Liquori came up with the concept for a movie about a killer forest after his first Fall season living in the mountains of North Carolina. The way the leaves kept coming just seemed unnatural and evil.
Due to the low budget, many of the actors wound up pulling multiple duties on the production. This included playing other characters. (For example, Jason Liquori is all three employees of the "Motley looking crew" working at Genbetter). This rotating cavalcade of poorly disguised look-a-like actors is a sub-plot in the planned the sequel, which involves cloning.
