The actor cast to play district attorney Cruz didn't know he was hired until the day of the shoot. A casting mishap booked another person with the same name who showed up and, despite director Emily Abt's attempts to make it work with him, he wasn't right for the scene. She asked producers to "get me the real Jonathan Lim!" When finally contacted, he had only an hour to get to set and shoot his scene.
At the time of shooting, actors E. Ambriz Decolosio and Jonathan Lim were both instructors at the well-known First Take Acting School in San Francisco, California. Actor Eugene Kremleff is also a student of theirs.
