The film implies that there are at least 17 Fraternities. In two places the number 17 is seen - when Wesley first enters the Chicago Fraternity the words "Textile Factory No.17" are seen above the gate, and on the Kill Order for Wesley which Sloan hands to Fox, under the category Textile Mill "No. 17" is written.
The making of the film followed a simple protocol imagined by the French film-maker Michel Gondry. After visiting the location and reviewing the props, a group of between 5 and 15 people sets to work. The group goes through all the stages involved in making a film, from the writing of the screenplay and the casting of actors to the shooting and the making of the special effects put together on site. No training is necessary: the objective is to start learning the various aspects of cinema. A range of sets and machinery, simulating both interiors and exteriors, makes it possible to shoot an endless number of stories. All the necessary equipment is made available so that the group can function autonomously. Three hours later, the group leaves the studio, taking with it the DVD of its film.
