Trivia
After actor Tom Dallace delivers his lines in the "elevator sequence", a noticeably different voice is heard saying the line, "Hey, thanks a lot, man." The line was added in post production to fill in a moment of dead silence. Dallace was in Los Angeles shooting another movie and was unable to record the line himself, so an uncredited crew member dubbed the line instead.

Goofs
Several actors' hairstyles change several times throughout the movie. This is the result of a shooting schedule that took several years.

Quotes
Old Man In Dream: It's all right. It's okay. You have something to live for. Jesus told me so.

ummm...

OK, Mark? First off, you're a little weird. "I Blow Up"... but anyway, given what you had to work with, this movie didn't really suck that much, which actually is probably the only thing you really need to know.

For the rest of you... "Coven" (that's "KO-ven", not "KUH-ven", if you please) is a _long_ way from Hollywood, so just relax and enjoy(?) it for what it is: a finally-realized personal project of a fascinatingly driven -- and, yes, weird -- man which 99.9% of us would never have known existed (that goes for both the man and the film) if not for "American Movie".

"Northwestern" due in 2004? Hey, let 'er rip... I'm curious to see how it turns out.
