Suburban Heroes was originally conceived as the fulfillment of a film school assignment and was shot on mini dv in 2005 with a slightly different cre and cast. It was then re-made in '07 for an online short film competition with the current cast and crew. The version seen here is the final '08 version shot in HD for the Suburban Heroes dvd release that same year.
