Severed is based on a feature film titled "Riven", created by the same filmmakers in 2005.
Patty Roberts is the 3rd actress for lead role "Devon", and the second to actually fill Devon's shoes. Half of the film "Riven" was shot with Kaila Gee in the lead role until production halted.
Patty Roberts, a dancer with no fight background, worked extensively with fight choreographer and trainer, Matt Mullins in order to be ready for her fight scenes.
Patty Roberts, a natural blond, had her hair died dark brown specifically for the role of Devon. The change proved beneficial as it led to being cast in other projects.
Severed was shot under very tight schedule using actors from another project. $198.00, seven short shoot days at 10 locations, and a lot of favors, brought Severed to completion.
