 The original opening of the film was completely different. The films first  scene was an extensive video log by Anthony about his feelings regarding  J.P.s HIV status and insistence on keeping it a secret. The opening credits  were also much longer, then faded into a video log of Anthonys location  scouting for a documentary, followed by discussions between Anthony and Becky  regarding their documentary and the upcoming weekend beach trip. This opening  ran over 20 minutes long and developed the characters of Anthony and Becky  well, but was cut after one test screening.
