• Brooke Shields jumped at the opportunity to work with Phil Traill because she had long wanted to star in a film with Bill Nighy.
• Felicity Jones landed the lead role as soon as she auditioned. Upon seeing her, director Phil Traill immediately understood that she was perfect for the role of Kim.
• Bill Bailey was cast as Kim's father because he and Phil Traill were members of the same club.
• Tom Williams wrote a total of 123 script drafts before the producers were completely satisfied.
• During filming, insurance companies strictly prohibited director Phil Traill, his assistant Joe Giari, and actor Ed Westwick (who played Johnny) from skiing. Meanwhile, Westwick is an experienced skier, having first gotten on skis at the age of 12.
• Preparing for the role of an experienced snowboarder, Felicity Jones trained for 6 hours daily for 4 weeks.
• To save on the film's budget, Bill Nighy and Brooke Shields used their own personal sports equipment.
