    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The classroom scenes were shot at Lincoln Middle School in Alameda, California. Although the film crew was given permission to shoot in the school, the school staff objected to the content of the script and insisted no filming be done at any time when students could possibly be on campus. As such, the classroom scenes were shot on a single night, with lights outside the windows to give the appearance of daytime.
