Production

The film's cast also includes JR Bourne, Robert Harper, Katharine Isabelle, Brent Stait, Gordon Tootoosis, Margo Kane and Tina Keeper.

Geary based the film's screenplay in part on his own experiences as a social worker helping sex workers and people who use drugs in the neighbourhood.

Baker's agent sent a clip of Baker's performance in the film to director Ron Howard, leading to Baker being cast as Honesco in the film The Missing without having to audition.
