Most sets within the film were real and not designed. Often, shops and restaurants were open or preparing for business. This made rapid shooting and handheld techniques necessary.

In the film, Jake is seen to be viewing through an air vent above a door in Alice's apartment. In fact, the vent was fake - Jake's viewing area was constructed some miles away in a derelict building.

New York actor, Ed Bergtold (who plays 'Morten' in the film) appeared in 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' as 'Rumor Trader at Urinal'.

The film was shot entirely in Leicestershire over a period of 19 days in November 2015.

The three-wheeled Reliant Robin used in the film was driven by a local resident accompanied by his dog, 'Scamp'. The car was stolen and wrecked by joy riders some weeks after the shoot.

The finale of the film was shot in a derelict primary school dating from 1834. In preparation for some of the scenes, producer Caroline Spence had to sweep up and dispose of huge piles of dead wasps.

The first draft of the screenplay was completed in three weeks.

When casting for the role of 'Bob', the producers put out a message on Twitter asking for actors to "unleash their inner Mark Benton " and apply. They required a comic actor who could be both condescending towards the lead character, 'Jake', and utterly frustrated with his behaviour. Mark Benton himself then replied to the tweet, saying to contact his agent. With no response from the agent, Midlands actor M.J. Simpson was auditioned and immediately won the role with his perfect interpretation of 'Bob'.

The character of 'Mel' was originally written as a male. An actor was auditioned and cast, however, he was unavailable for the scheduled filming dates. The role was then rewritten and offered to Lily Portman, adding another emotional layer to Jake's complex relationships.

The character of 'DCI Uphill' was originally written as a male, but a suitable candidate was not forthcoming. During auditions, producer Caroline Spence and actor Imogen Hartley spoke about their mutual admiration for Sandra Bullock. This gave Caroline the idea of making 'DCI Uphill' a woman (Sandra Bullock has played many cops). Imogen Hartley was, thus, subsequently cast in the role of the detective.

Sue Moore's audition as the 'Grumpy Old Woman' was her first ever. She won the role on the spot.

The voice of 'Vicki from Rainy Daze Brollies' was performed by producer Caroline Spence who was inspired by the Gatwick Airport inter-terminal shuttle voice-over.
