Premiere Gallery
A private premiere was held on August 9th, 2025 for the film, as Team L.A.B. Productions could not attend the closing event for the 2025 Teen Film Challenge on August 17th, 2025.

Script
The script was completed around 3:30 AM on August 1st, with only minor edits the morning after.
Trivia
The planning notebook used in the production of the film is the very same one used for and in The Litter Lurker (2022).
The first and last names for many of the supporting roles (not all) came from mismatching first names and misspelled last names from the 2025 Teen Film Challenge GroupMe.
The name Karl Duplex, however, comes from Kyle Dupler.
The film released on August 9th, 2025 at 9:00 PM EST.
The premiere on August 9th, 2025 was held at the Oglethorpe residence, and featured the viewing of the film twice, alongside its teaser and the bloopers.
This is the first L.A.B. Productions film available in 4K resolution.
The inspiration behind Tim Nephew breaking the chair is Giovanni Oglethorpe breaking the same chair the night before by just sitting in it.
The film was submitted around 5pm on August 3rd.
The film's script was the first file made on Logan Bauer's Ohio University OneDrive account.
Jake Dougherty wanted to cameo in the film and submitted a form, but missed the deadline.
