Production

Work on the script for True Love began in 1982, with Nancy Savoca and her husband Richard Guay basing the screenplay off of their personal experiences living in The Bronx. Facing rejection from multiple major studios, Savoca and Guay decided to invest $22,000 into a nine-minute concept trailer to find potential investors for the film.
