This movie was the subject of a September 4, 2019, segment on the National Public Radio podcast "Code Switch," titled "Searching For Punks." The segment was provoked first by the fact that the film is now very difficult to find in any format or on any streaming service. The reporters interviewed the writer and director Patrik-Ian Polk, who said that despite the movie's success on the film festival circuit, because of the taboo nature of the gay black subject matter, only one very small company offered to distribute the movie. That company failed to purchase the rights to any of the music heard in the film. Consequently, the movie never received a real distribution.
Rockmond Dunbar and Vanessa Williams met on the set of this film where they played partners, then went on to star as a married couple for five seasons on Soul Food (2000).
Gene Anthony Ray was originally cast as Alexis Carrington Colby Dexter before being replaced by Rodney Chester.
Lisa Nicole Carson was originally cast as Jennifer, but the filming schedule for Ally McBeal (1997) shifted, forcing her to vacate the role. (She was also starring on ER (1994) at the time, leaving little flexibility in her calendar.) She was replaced with Vanessa Williams.
