The film was shot in Wilmington, NC with a planned theatrical release in February 1995. But the financial collapse of Savoy Pictures left the movie orphaned until Trimark Pictures acquired it, re-titled it as "My Teacher's Wife," and released it on DVD. It was also featured on the USA cable channel. The score was composed and performed by Kevin Gilbert, a major contributor to the Tuesday Night Music Club group which wrote songs for Sheryl Crow on her debut album. The film also features animations by Academy Award nominated cartoonist Bill Plympton.
