Saturday Morning was Greenberg's first feature film, shot independently after years of failing to break into the industry. The film was inspired in combination by waking up early on a Saturday morning, an episode of Night Court, and driving into New York City for a date. Exterior filming was done in the town of Westfield, NJ, were the TV Series Ed was also shot.[1]
