Early in the film, John (Jonathan Wade-Drahos) drives into Los Angeles/West Hollywood, and as he drives, he passes by several iconic gay bars, Rage at 8911 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood; Mother Load at 8944 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood; Spike (now CLOSED) at 7746 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood; and Mickey's 8857 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA 90069. The camera lingers over the bar signs just long enough for the audience to take notice.
Writer/Director Dirk Shafer based the character of Hector on a friend from real life, a narcissistic, self loathing, gay circuit boy who committed suicide on his 30th birthday.
Writer/Director Dirk Shafer, who is well known as Playgirl magazine's 1992 Man of the Year, cast fellow Playgirl Man of the Year (for 1999), Eddie Jamison in the role of a Shirtless Jogger.
