[4] While writing, Wood had the basic outline of the character “Geppetto” but it wasn't until he was at the gym and thought up the shocking opening sequence that he discovered why “Geppetto” was the way he was; “in that moment I saw him as a child, I knew this character and what motivated him.”[2] Lee Grimes was in charge of the special effects make-up.

Director Anthony DiBlasi chose this script because he wanted to do a horror film where “there were characters in that I thought people could relate to and feel bad for when things happen to them”.

[2] Oscar winner Louise Fletcher wanted to be in the movie because both her parents were deaf, just like the main character Lily.
