Production

Director Demi Moore's then 20-year-old daughter Rumer Willis starred in the film. Of directing her daughter, Moore said, "The great thing is I’m seeing her mature and operate as a complete professional. And it’s giving us, I think, another opportunity to connect in a totally different way." [2]
