Ted Takes Fun Facts, Brigsby Bear:
- Following the world premiere at Sundance Film Festival 2017 at the Eccles theatre during the Q&A, the cast were asked what attracted them to the project. Mark Hamill talked about how much he liked the script and the originality of the story, but also joked: 'Also, I actually had lines. You know, that's always a bonus for me'. This is a reference to the fact that all of his lines were cut from Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015).
- Extremely talented actor/writer/director/producer Kevin Smith has stated that this is his favorite film of 2017 so far.
