Carvey wrote the screenplay along with Harris Goldberg ("Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo"), with the idea of bringing a wide assortment of characters to life in one film. Before handing the reigns of the film over to first time director Perry Andelin Blake, Carvey had to be sure the director would allow him to express himself and give him freedom while filming. "Perry was really enthusiastic," notes Carvey adding, "He ... has a great aesthetic touch with his background as a production designer."

Based on a recent report on medical mistakes from the National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine, Carvey might fairly be characterized as one of the lucky survivors. In its report, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System, the IOM estimates that 44,000 to 98,000 Americans die each year not from the medical conditions they checked in with, but from preventable medical errors.
