Production
Lonely Joe began production in October 2007, in the towns of Solvay, Syracuse, Elbridge, and Geddes, New York.[4] The film wrapped principal photography on November 6, 2007.[5] A "post-production teaser" was cut from dailies, and placed on-line on November 7, 2007.[6]
Doing her own stunts for the film, Erica Leerhsen was nearly hit by the train used in the dream sequence when she lost her balance and lunged forward. Her scene was shot with her only 12 inches from the side of the train as it passed by at 30 miles per hour. Unshaken, she insisted on shooting the scene again.[7]
