TRIVIA
-This short film was created as a pitch to investors, there's was interest but eventually one of the controlling members decided to move, and so it never went further.
-Most of the actors had no idea that there was no script for this shoot.
-Jason Derek Cox was not actually given a special thanks in the dvd credits, but does have one on IMDB.
-Courtney Montgomery wrote a paper on the storybook while attending college. She came onto the project knowing more that anyone else about the story; history and adaptational options.
