Director Nathaniel Turner injured his hand on the second day of filming and shot the movie predominately with one hand and the other hand had a cast on it.
Actor Floyd Henderson injured his back and arm during an intense sequence for the film.
Finding the actress to play Cassandra was a very long and difficult process. Eight different actress passed on playing the lead role, claiming it was "a very difficult and overwhelming role to perform." After two weeks into filming, the director found "the right girl" and luckily many of the male leads already knew her and each other.
Nathaniel Turner composed and performed the musical score on a Kawai Digital Piano. "Cassandra's Theme" is based on a 200 BC lyric song "Epitaph of Seikilos". Nathaniel wrote the score for a boys choir, female singer, harp, piano, guitar and string quartet.
