 After submission to a comedy film festival in Austin, Texas,  director Andy Gately received a call from the selection committee,  who told him they really wanted to show the film, but they didnt  understand the ending and were wondering if he could explain its  meaning, and if hed be willing to cut the disturbing sections out  and leave just the humorous parts. Andy declined, and the committee  agreed to review the film again and get back to him. The next day he  received word that the festival had opted to not screen the film.
