yes, this is a pretty descent effort by Gregory Haynes. it had a limited budget, and many personnel, logistic, and political pitfalls attached to it. i was personally involved with the prep and principal photography of this film. the director spent many sleepless moons getting his script to the screen and he pulled in a lot of favors and his own toil to do it. Greg gave me my first opportunity in cinema with his previous 'share the moon' and for that i will be eternally grateful.
i remember the major obstacle was the lead actress. she was truly living inside her own reality when she spoke or rehearsed. it shows in the final edit. however, Greg Haynes scored a windfall coup by acquiring the still undiscovered and hungry talent of Julian McMahon. Julian was dating the rookie actress (Atkins) at the time and she recommended Julian to the director. hence, her casting was the bittersweet best and worst decision that the eager director would make. as Julian's performance is with Allison Storry is really the only mentionable accomplishment of 5 weeks of long days and lifting a lot of heavy stuff.
one other comment: the photography was quite cool. as were the guys who did the lighting and camera work. Galluzo (dp), Grady (gaffer), Obert (electric), Chen (camera) and Hussain (key grip) did the hard work and put it carefully into academy.
the story does have chasms but also has complexities. through time, this movie will simply be a good representation of the styles of the mid-90's and the learning process of today's current artists making American pictures coveted by the rest of the world.
