Production
Release of the film was delayed for three years; this may have been due to uncertainty over how to market the film, as this movie which is primarily dramatic was inaccurately marketed as a straightforward comedy.[4][5] The movie was eventually completed and released direct to video by Chosen One Productions RS LLC.[6]
