In 1995, a '$6 million' micro-tight budget (today's money) allowed shooting Box of Moonlight in 35 days in Knoxville, showcasing personal narratives like Al Fountain's mid-life crisis.
The film's director, Tom DiCillo, emphasized the struggle in creating Box of Moonlight, leading to the production of another film centered on the challenges of filmmaking.
The 1996 premiere of Box of Moonlight alongside other indie films like Walking and Talking and Bottle Rocket marked a significant year for intimate, human-centered cinema narratives.
