They grew up together in the

This movie is based on a true story.

Real-life Santa Barbara County Deputy District Attorney Ronald
J. Zonen agreed to give this film full access to the case files of the
actual crime this movie is based on. Zonen also served as an unpaid consultant
for this movie as well.

Ben Foster went all out in preparing for his role in this
movie. He spent time with active "crystal meth" users in order to mimic
the behaviors. He also risked his sight by using Glaucoma drops in his
eyes to give his eyes the appearance of being high. However it made his
eyes so sensitive to light that in between takes he would sit in bushes
with his eye closed to make it as dark as possible. He even took direction
from Nick Cassavetes with his eyes closed.

This was the final film to play at the 2006 Sundance Festival.
