• The film was originally meant to have a male and a female character, called Roy and Ina, instead of two women. However, director Stephen Keep Mills encountered a problem when two male actors he had been considering for Roy turned the role down because of the requirements of full-frontal nudity. At the same time, two female actors he had been considering for Ina, Alejandra Gollas and Tonya Cornelisse, both had such impressive auditions that he did not want to only cast one of them and not the other. In the end, Mills decided to change the gender of Roy, renaming the character Joy and casting Gollas as Ina and Cornelisse as Joy.

• Both actresses agreed to play the roles naked for almost the whole time they are on screen. Tonya Cornelisse had acted on stage nude in theatre plays prior to her being cast as Joy, but had not been naked in a film before. Alejandra Gollas had briefly acted nude in the film Secondary Effects (2006) and saw the nudity in this film as an experiment.
