Kieran O'Brien and Margo Stilley did not communicate with each other between filming so that their off-screen relationship would not affect the one they had on screen.
Margo Stilley never wanted to be credited in the film because of the unsimulated, explicit sex scenes. She asked the director to refer to her in interviews as "Lisa", the name of her character in the film. It, also,was her debut.
The two leads met only three days before they first had sex on film.
This was the first film featuring explicit sex scenes to receive a certificate in the Republic of Ireland.
Shooting time for the film was projected as ten weeks. The cast and crew ended up shooting for five months.
