Quotes: Director Graham Streeter said “Russ was originally written for a very muscular and tall man, covered in tattoos and piercings; but once Ann, the casting director, showed me Paul’s audition tape, I couldn’t get it out of my head whenever I thought about the role. So we rewrote a few things to make it all fit together with Paul in the role.”
Paul Cram said, “I am not having my family come to the screening of this film. It’s just way too awkward when there’s nudity on screen that I am in. I love the role of Russ. There’s something to him that I really relate to, he is looking for love. And Russ totally has a dark side. Filming was so challenging I could go one for a long time about the obstacles- but ultimately it all came together and that’s what matters.”
