Travis Thomas originally was supposed to play the role of 'Tarik' but we upgraded him to 'Lonnie' because he was one of the few actors that was serious and could handle the part.

Shana Powers was very timid at first about the part because with her lack of acting experience she not only had to memorize a 100 page screenplay in her spare time, but also kiss Travis and make it look "realistic," Which at the time was difficult for her, because she had a boyfriend.
