Karissa Wheeler and Allyson Nicole Jones's debut.
Most of the cast and crew were from Kentucky, southern Indiana, and Tennessee. It was important for helping these cast and crew to network and find brief employment in the film with one another. Using mostly local folks meant that it kept down the overall production costs.
Three members of the Callan family were acting in this film. Brennan James Callan and his parents Francis Joseph Callan and Virginia Rae Callan acted in some of the same scenes, but Brennan James Callan was in many other additional scenes than his parents. As working on movie sets can take 12-18 hours in a day, his parents could not be available for those full-day shoots. Furthermore, this film primarily filmed in the Louisville, Kentucky area, but also there were two bus loads of actors that went to Tennessee. Brennan's parents were too old to want to take a 5-hour bus trip to attend a 3-hour concert, and then drive back to Louisville in the overnight hours. It took real dedication for the cast and crew to make that long sojourn to Tennessee.
Some of the fall festival, funeral, wedding, and other shots done at the Broad Run Vineyard were on cold days. The extras had to stay in an elongated set of white tents with the major air leaks between the side panels. Small propane heaters were supposed to keep the extras warm, but this is why it was a real challenge having enough actors waiting 10-15 hours per day just to get to be hardly seen in any of the shots. The actors were only paid about $25 per day to be there. Eventually, the extras realized that whether they suffered for 1-day or all days, their name would only appear once in the credits. Therefore, it was a daily chore to find more extras that would endure the hardships. Eventually, the production leaders realized they needed to be sharing the better grade food, coffee, and the wedding reception hall because it was far too cold to keep extras suffering in the tents. It was boring for the extras sitting on uncomfortable chairs too. The leaders needed to treat everyone equally and with fairness in mind. They finally began to realize these problems when few extras were showing up each day and hundreds had been invited.
