In the earlier drafts, the character of Tyrone was white and the character of Dayvon was black. When James Davis walked into the audition room without saying a word, the director knew he was the embodiment of the character. Key plots of the script were rewritten for him to fit the part of Tyrone.
Shot in 17 days over a five month period due to script rewrites and several changes in casting. Filming began on December 27, 2008 and ended May 8, 2009.
