Preparing for the role of a person with AIDS, Eric Palladino learned that the medication his character takes causes hair loss. He used ordinary scissors to shave his own head. All scenes with his character were filmed in one day.
This was the first film to openly depict the conflict between The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and homosexuality, and its screenings in some states were accompanied by scandal. Various religious groups demanded the film be pulled from distribution and removed from store shelves, threatening to boycott cinemas and stores if it wasn't.
S. Jay Cox wrote the screenplay and directed the project. The success of his previous film, 'Wonderland' (2002), gave Cox enough financial and creative freedom to show a more personal love story on screen. Both main characters – Aaron and Christian – were based on Cox himself. He was raised among Mormons, and subsequently, when he openly came out as gay, often wondered what the two halves (or sides of his personality) would say to each other if they were different people.
