Sara Malakul Lane said she did a lot of stuff pretty much for real during filming. "I had a lot of cuts on my wrists from one scene and I genuinely was gagging for another scene because you are really in it and I think it's important just to go all out. The audience will really get the experience if you are really feeling it. There was no safety or anything, we just kind of went for it. After the third or fourth take it becomes really tiring on the body and you think, 'Oh shit, what did I get myself into?'" But Lane said the most uncomfortable scene was the sex one with William Nicol. "Usually when you're doing these sex scenes or rape scenes, there's 6 or 7 crew members in the room. With this scene because they were filming it through the window, it was just me and the other actor in the room doing a sex scene essentially. That was uncomfortable."
The sex scene between Sarah Hagan and William Nicol mixes sex and violence at the same time. Hagan said it was a really tough scene to tackle. "Absolutely, especially as I had never done either one of those. Yeah, that was crazy. It's like the ultimate challenge. It was like, 'Right, we're actually doing this.' But yeah, I don't even know what to tell you about that."
