Production

The Quest was shot over the course of 9 days in Cabo San Lucas during the 2003 Spring break following six University of Colorado students on their trip to help their friend lose his virginity. [3]

Release

After New Line Cinema moved up the release of their similarly themed reality film The Real Cancun , Universal Pictures pulled its original planned release in order to release it later in the year. [3] After The Real Cancun bombed at the box office, Universal was reportedly weighed their options on how to best handle the release for The Quest in order to avoid a repeat of the failure of The Real Cancun. [4] Prior to being pulled from the release schedule, the film had been intended for release on May 9, 2003. [5]
