Douglas Buck wanted to cast the leads of the first segment, Cutting Moments (1996), in the second, Home (1998), but while Gary Betsworth ("Patrick"/"Gary") was game, Nica Ray ("Sarah") declined the role of Helen.
Gary Betsworth improvised his wave to an unseen neighbor in the final scene of Home (1998). During filming, writer/director Douglas Buck insisted that the actors faithfully follow the script, but when he saw that moment he realized it was too good to cut, and left it in.
