This movie was filmed at Joss Whedon's Santa Monica home, which was designed and decorated by Whedon's wife Kai Cole. Cole suggested Whedon make it in lieu of going on vacation for their 20th anniversary because it had long been his passion project.
The masquerade party scene was an actual party thrown by Joss Whedon and his wife. All the extras were friends of Joss Whedon and his family or film students, and real alcohol was provided for the guests. Only the principal actors abstained, drinking colored water instead.
The film was shot in only 12 days while Joss Whedon was working on Marvel's The Avengers (2012).
The scene in which Benedick does push-ups for Beatrice in an attempt to show off was improvised by Alexis Denisof. Joss Whedon admits that he was hesitant in regards to the gag, but positive audience reaction allayed his fears.
When Dogberry and Verges exit for the last time, they realize that neither of them has the keys to the car. Nathan Fillion and Tom Lenk improvised this off-camera as the rest of the scene continued. When Joss Whedon realized why the cast was laughing, he had the pair recreate the gag on camera.
"Dogberry: Well , masters good night."
"Dogberry: Thou naughty varlet! Conrade: Away! You are an ass! You are an *ass*. Dogberry: Dost thou not suspect my place? Dost thou not suspect my years? [Conrade escorted away] Dogberry: O that she were here to write me down an ass! But, masters, remember that I am an ass; though it be not written down, yet forget not that I am an ass. No, thou villain, thou art full of piety, as shall be proved upon thee by good witness. I am a wise fellow, and, which is more, an officer, and, which is more, a householder, and, which is more, as pretty a piece of flesh as any is in Messina, and one that knows the law, go to; and a rich fellow enough, go to; and one that hath had losses, and one that hath two gowns and every thing handsome about him. O that I had been writ down an ass!"
