Writer Lynn Lamousin was inspired to write a story about distrust of foreigners after the September 11 attacks . The idea for sock puppets grew out of her desire to find a creative way to tell the story ; the initial idea was always to use inanimate objects . The co-directors are faculty at Emory University . They become involved after they saw and liked the script . The film was originally intended to be converted to black and white , but during post-production , it was decided to keep it in color . Shooting took 12 days and used local Atlanta talent for the puppets
