 The film was originally titled "The Frankie Incident" and revolved  around a cocaine dealer with a mark on his head. Much of the same  cast (with some playing different roles) was included, but due to  production issues, the script was formed into Loose Ends. Original  footage from The Frankie Incident did, however, make it into Loose  Ends (the flashback sequence where Ciaran is discussing the Irish  stigma).
