Production
Maggenti started a script with an image in her head of a tomboy with love notes in her back pocket, gradually adding more characters such as her tomboy’s family and her love interest. (Later, she realized this character was based on her first girlfriend.) Between 1992 and 1994 her script, a dark look at the middle and end of this relationship, grew until Maggenti abandoned it.
The film’s future associate producer Melissa Painter convinced Maggenti to shop the story around as an independent film; when two producers asked how the two very different girls got together, Maggenti improvised the story of the beginning of their relationship. The producers were delighted with this story, and Maggenti wrote a new script in eight days; surprising herself that her script was now a comedic farce, not about gay love or coming out, but about teenagers’ first love.
Shooting was completed in 21 days. The Horace Mann School in Riverdale, Bronx in New York City filled the part of Randy and Evie’s high school.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Constant revolutionizing of production ... distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
