The film is based in Asbury Park, Ocean Grove and Neptune, according to Steve Gorelick of the New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission in Newark. "It's being made in the $1 to $2-million-dollar range," Gorelick said. Meanwhile, Kevin Chambers's home on Ocean Pathway in Ocean Grove was leased for the film production. Chambers had moved out of his home while the film crew rearranged and completed filming there. On October 13, 2007, film crews shut down the train station in Bradley Beach for shooting. The film finished full production in mid November 2007. Later in May 2008 scenes were re-shot. The film name was changed to According to Greta for the US release, although shown earlier as "Greta" in an L.A. screening.

According to Greta had a limited release in theatres across the United States on December 11, 2009, later followed by a DVD release on January 19, 2010 in the US, on November 25, 2009 in Australia, on March 12, 2010 in Germany, and on June 21, 2010 in the United Kingdom. The film was released under Icon Home Entertainment and holds the alternative name of Surviving Summer in the UK. Shortly after the release of the DVD, it reached #1 on the iTunes UK Top Film Sales Chart, with scarce promotion.

The film had a rating of 1.25 million viewers on its December 28, 2011 broadcast on the CW network which made it the most watched film of the week.

I think that this is such a really sad movie 2 watch, but it is such a fantastic movie 2 watch, it is a really powerful drama movie 2 watch with a great cast throughout this movie.........
