[edit] Production Information
Danny Davy and Toby Jones came up with the idea for AJ Goes to France in their sophomore year of high school (specifically early 2003). The first writing session was in November 2004 and the first day of filming was March 5th, 2005. The "official" last day of shooting was August 13th, but there were a few small bits and pieces left. AJ Goes to France premiered as a midnight movie at the Fargo Theatre on January 6th, 2006.
Tom Seim directed the AJ Goes to France Documentary, which is included on the DVD of the movie.
