4	* DoingItForTheArt: The cast were convinced by Stallone, who played a vital part in getting the movie made, to sign up for it at minimal pay rates.
5	* ExtremelyLengthyCreation: According to director-writer John Herzfeld, he wrote the script for ''Reach Me'' in 2001 and spent the next 12 years trying to get it made.
6	* PlayingAgainstType: In a departure from his usual action hero roles, Stallone plays an online blog editor who serves as an antagonist.
7	* TroubledProduction: During the second week of shooting the movie, an important producer, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Zada Norman Zada]], pulled out and sued for the return of $1 million he had invested, leaving the film without funding. As a result, Herzfeld started a Website/{{Kickstarter}} campaign to complete it. In order to allow for bigger contributions, the campaign was moved to Website/{{Indiegogo}}, where it reached just over $178 thousand in less than a week (although one of the backers pledged almost $150 thousand), allowing Herzfeld to finish it. The Indiegogo pitch can still be seen [[https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/reach-me-the-movie-at-indiegogo#/ here]].
