The idea of the movie came to Kent Moran in a dream. He dreamed about the story for two weeks, writing notes each morning, and wrote the first draft of the screenplay in just two days. The final draft is very close to the first.
Ironically the DVD release has no subtitles or captions for deaf viewers.
Alexia Rasmussen was originally submitted for the role of Nicole by her agent. When Kent Moran saw her head shot, he called her in for the lead role of Ariana instead. Alexia's first audition was at final callbacks when they were already down to just two girls for the role of Ariana. Her audition blew them away and she won the role.
Lisa Benner, who plays Marianne, was the only actor that knew sign language before the movie. Alexia Rasmussen and Kent Moran both had to learn quickly for their roles. They did so with the help of Lisa and a sign language interpreter.
