Trivia
The initial script written by Humberto Castro was originally intended to be a 15-minute short film for an acting course he was taking at Latin American Talent Studio in El Paso, Texas. When Bryan G. Thompson was hired to be the new acting instructor at the studio, Castro presented the script to him for advice. Thompson read it and immediately fell in love with the story. Both decided to work on the script together and turned it into a 30-minute short film before eventually turning it into a 90-minute feature film.
