THE script reading took about three hours to end. Even though the running time of the movie was only one hour and 45 minutes. This was because the director needed to correct some line deliveries of the actors. Which was a common thing. To finish the script reading the exact duration of the running time would be close to a miracle.
Director Harper Hale was very satisfied with this. She was glad that the actors she and author One Leaf picked, as well as those who passed the audition, did not disappoint them.
Since this movie didn't really need a high budget, there's no need to placate any high-ranking investors by putting in actors that they would recommend. The production company could easily cover the cost of investment. That's why when Streamline Film approached her for this project, she didn't refuse.
