Using a crew of film students and a shoestring budget, the film was sold to the Lifetime Movie Network in North America and picked up by NBC Universal in overseas territories for television. By the age of 20, Switzer had produced, arranged financing and/or distribution for almost a dozen feature films. His films have been licensed on every platform in North America and international territories such as Greece, Turkey, the Middle East, China, Japan, Russia, Taiwan, Benelux, among countless others, through his output deal with Taylor & Dodge.
