President of  Acquisitions at Image Entertainment was so impressed with Shavars  35 minute short film entitled, "A Taste of Us", that a full length  feature film was requested. The only thing was, Shavars short was  originally a drama pilot presentation for the new TV ONE Network and  was based on the civil unrest of the 1960s. Shavar simply kept the  title "A Taste of Us" to appease his distributor and came up with a  whole new concept, and storyline, conforming a script into an  inspirational romantic comedy.
