Was originally set to be episode 4 of the Unconditional Love Christian Miniseries, but after scheduling conflicts and the lead actor of the series being involved in a car crash with his family, the production company decided to end the miniseries at three episodes and convert the remaining episodes into feature length spin off films. The lead actor and his family are all well and survived the crash without any loss of life or limb by God's grace.
Although a feature film, this film project was completed in less than 1 week despite the various locations, numerous actors, and falling slightly behind schedule due to last minute re-casting needs.
On the third day of production, closing in on a 13+ hour shoot, producer and co-director Cristy Ecaymuzquiz, almost collapsed and was temporarily blind as her eyes were affected by stress, irritation from long hours, slight dehydration, and the smoke from the incense and candles that were used on set during the shoot. Even though keeping her eyes closed, she helped her father and fellow co-director set up the scene and direct the actors to get the scenes done.
Five actresses dropped out of the production.
The first to leave was Ashley Moore originally set to play the role of The Priestess. She was replaced by Robin Hawke.
The second was Anabel Watson, originally set to play the role of Dr. Frances Block & The Priestess' Assistant. She was replaced by Moniq Guevara.
Two nights before production start, the third was Billionna Reyes, originally set to play the role of June. She was replaced by Angela McGee (mother of young actress Ashley Rae McGee)
The fourth was Kathleen Thompson, she dropped out of the project via email near midnight the night before production start, leaving producers scrambling to find another actress willing to take on the challenging role of Jessica Richardson. She was replaced by Lucero Vazquez, who took on the role with bravery, nervousness, and quick shopping for both a wig and contact lenses to look at least a bit like the actress playing the younger version of Jessica.
The fifth was actually let go due to her constant wanting to reschedule her scenes for a later date. Anastasia Adams, originally set to play the role of Mrs. Rodriguez, was replaced while during production by Blanca Garza who both memorized her lines within three hours and left fellow cast members and production team amazed at her determination and talent.

The quartz crystal "protection charm" necklace worn by Zoe (Ashley Rae McGee) was intended to be smashed by Casey (Glenna Schumann) later on in a pick up shot... but during location move the charm broke while safely being transported in the young actress' backpack, leaving almost everyone amazed.
