Short summary
Victoria Jackson, who was battling breast cancer and had finished her last chemo treatment two days before principal shooting began, jokingly asked Jacob Dufour to write her bald head into the script. Dufour loved the idea and they came up with the scene where Kennedy removes her wig at the beginning of the movie. Dufour had been frustrated because he felt that the character was too shallow, and said that Dr. Kennedy battling cancer was "just what the character needed".
Shelby Taylor Mullins (Rayne) really hit Daniel Main (Mr. Reeves) in the back of the head with a shovel during the toolshed scene.
Jacob Dufour was insecure about his performance and worried that he might offend people with real disabilities. This fear was put to rest at an early showing of the movie, when a group from a local special needs home attended the showing. After the movie ended, a middle-aged man from the group walked up to Dufour, burst into tears and hugged him. Within the next couple minutes, almost everyone in the group wanted to shake his hand and get a hug. Dufour said afterwards that it was one of the most moving experiences of his life.
The vast majority of the cast were first-time actors from the local community theatre.
This marks the second time Jacob Dufour has played the title role in a movie yet received second billing, the first being The Redemption of Benjamin Black (2014).
Was nominated for seven awards at the 2017 Dreams Come True Film Festival: Best Feature, Most Inspiring Film, Best Director (Adam Dufour), Best Screenplay (Jacob Dufour), Best Supporting Actress (Victoria Jackson), Best Lead Actress (Shelby Taylor Mullins) and Best Lead Actor (Jacob Dufour).
Premiered in Louisville on November 12, 2016, where it received a standing ovation. Spectators commented that "there wasn't a dry eye in the house".
Jacob Dufour and Disabled Teen #2 are dating in real life.
