After holding auditions for roles in a play, several decisions were made about casting. Zac was not chosen to play the father role because he did not look old enough. Lily was too nervous on camera so her friend was cast as Annie's sister instead. Olivia was not chosen for the role of Annie because she had other commitments and may not have been reliable, so Isabelle was given the part instead. Izzy's mother was chosen to play Annie's mother due to her reliability.
