The film was a Canadian Screen Award nominee for Best Live Action Short Drama at the 3rd Canadian Screen Awards in 2015.[4]

Galloy was also cast in St-Michel's 2019 feature film debut Before We Explode (Avant qu'on explose), which addressed some similar themes but was not intended as a literal sequel to Little Brother.[5]
