Station to Station

In the art gallery scene, Tom's pose in the black and white photograph is an homage to photographer Victor Skrebneski's 1991 photograph of David Bowie, taken during a shoot in advance of Bowie's wedding to actress and fashion model Iman. The second featured shot of Tom is posed in a manner reminiscent of the rare 1974 screen print of Bowie found in a shop in the Soho area of London.

The final name in the "thank you" block in the credits is "Zou Zou," director and editor Benjamin Bryant's dog, who sat with him while he edited and reviewed the film throughout post-production. Though Bryant also lost two other dogs around the time of principal production, he opted not to include them in the In Memoriam section out of respect for the humans memorialized there, including three parents of cast and crew and all who died during the concurrent COVID-19 pandemic.

Selected to be the Opening Night feature for the 2021 Las Vegas International Film and Screenwriting Festival, where it premiered November 9th, 2021, before a live Q&A with writer-director Benjamin Bryant and star David Eggers II.

Tom's opening scenes with Jennifer were shot twice, once in Las Vegas during principal production, and several months later during re-shoots near Washington D.C. After reviewing the initial cut, writer-director Benjamin Bryant felt the character of Jennifer needed more agency and the scenes greater impact. As Jennifer's portrayer Cheyenne Alexsys was now blonde for a different role, Bryant used the dramatic change in Alexsys's physical appearance to inform his re-imagining of the character of Jennifer and her presentation within the scenes.

The main character's love for David Bowie was not an original conception of writer-director Benjamin Bryant. It was added to the film at the suggestion of eventual star David Eggers II , who'd worked with Bryant on a previous project, long before he was cast in the role. Once he was cast, subtle Bowie's influences on Tom's presentation and wardrobe, further solidified.
