Production
Writer/director Lewis drew upon his own relationship experiences with a meth addict in creating the film: "A lot of things in the film are conversations and events I had, and a lot of direct quotes [became] lines....Denny's monologue was taken from a guy I met who was in AA and recovering, and lived in a single room."[2] The film was produced by noted independent filmmakers and frequent collaborators Robert Shulevitz and Charles Myers. Filming took place over a month in a number of Los Angeles locations and editing took another six months. Lucky Bastard features a soundtrack by William V. Malpede, who had also scored Lewis's previous film, FAQs.[3]
