Cast



Production


Joshua Leonard had been on the lookout for a story to be made into a movie, when he read the short story, The Lie, which was in the April 14, 2008 issue of The New Yorker. He realized that the story was a good fit for an independent film that could be made in Los Angeles, using collaborators he already knew in the area.[2] The original short story was sixteen pages long.[3] The crew spent two and a half weeks shooting the film, and six months editing it.[4] For the baby Xana, the filmmakers cast Violet Long (an infant at that time) whose parents are Daniel (the film's co-producer) and Darby Long.


Release


The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2011.[5] Shortly after, Screen Media Films acquired distribution rights to the film.[6] It was released on November 18, 2011.[7]
