This one-minute film was written in five minutes, shot within two hours and edited in one hour, at a budget of under $100.

In 2007, Roffman began to branch out into being a film producer. Roffman is the producer of director Alex Karpovsky's second film, Woodpecker and third film Trust Us, This Is All Made Up as well as Garth Donovan's Phillip the Fossil and Tom Bean and Luke Poling's Plimpton! Starring George Plimpton as Himself.

In 2014, Roffman teamed up with Luke Poling to direct a short documentary, Spearhunter, which focuses on Colonel Gene Morris, "The World's Greatest Living Spear Hunter", and his Spear Hunting Museum in Summerdale, Alabama. They collaborated with filmmaker Nathaniel Hansen, who served as the film's cinematographer and editor.
