The film won Best Comedic Short at the 2009 AOF International Film Festival,[1] and screened at the 2010 Seattle International Film Festival, the 2009 Austin Film Festival,[2] the 2009 Palm Springs International Shortfest,[3] the 2009 New York Downtown Film Festival,[1] and the 2009 Detroit/Windsor Film Festival,[1] among others. The film was later referenced in the Glee episode "A Night of Neglect", when Santana (Naya Rivera) says to Karofsky (Max Adler), "Two choices: you stay here and I crack one of your nuts, right or left, that's your choice . . .", a show which actor Chris Colfer (who played Russel Fish) also starred in.
