The Character of Dave was the most difficult one to cast, requiring several casting calls with the role finally going to Sean Manning.
Filmed in four out of five boroughs of New York City, New Jersey and Washington D.C.
Changing Diego marks a first for many people involved in the film. It's the first writing credit for Abraham Aponte, the first lead role for Anthony Cruz, the first feature film for Will Fonseca and the acting debut of Juan Sarmiento.
Edison Carrera, who has extensive live theater experience in his native Ecuador and in the US (Spanish-language plays) was the first choice on the first day of audition for the role of Diego's strict father. Gloria Zelaya and Maria Teresa Silva who are friends and mutual friends of Edison were also the first choices on the first day of audition for the roles of Diego's mother and grandmother, respectively.
