With the $100,000 profit from The Art of Marriage,[1] Cunningham rented his first office and began looking for another picture to shoot.

Cunningham said The Art of Marriage was good (in terms of starting him off) but "crummy" and wanted to make a better version of the film.

After Together was shot Cunningham hired the struggling Wes Craven, who needed a job and was interested in getting into the film business.

Cunningham was doing re-shoots for Together and hired Craven to synchronize the dailies from the three- to four-day reshoot.

The film was re-released in 1973 to capitalize on the notoriety Marilyn Chambers received after it was revealed she was the mother on the Ivory Snow soap box who also was starring in the X-rated hardcore pornographic film Behind the Green Door.
