Production notes
Taylor did not intend this film to be considered a Christian film. He told Christianity Today that "One of the reasons we've avoided the tag "Christian film" is because it's the kiss of death—it's not an apocalyptic thriller or a conversion story. It's a redemption story, set in the world of these two churches, and we wanted to tell an authentic story deep in those settings." This is the first film in which Michael W. Smith, a contemporary Christian composer, singer, and musician, has acted.
The film was shot mostly on location in Nashville, Tennessee. The area was mainly in and around East Nashville between 2nd and 4th Avenues. One featured spot of note shows the front facade of the former Pearl Cohn Comprehensive High School at 17th Avenue and Jo Johnston.
