The film is produced by Blue Seraph Productions, a Los Angeles company headed by Tepnapa and Pedraza. Their previous work has been featured in the New York Times, BBC, Variety, Frontiers, Fab, the Today Show, MSNBC, and other international news outlets.
The film, which was shot in the summer of 2010 in Seattle,[7] has already attracted attention for casting former Dante's Cove star Charlie David. Also cast is adult film star Sean Paul Lockhart, who appeared in 2008's Oscar-winning Milk and the comedy Another Gay Sequel.
Lockhart impressed the director with his acting in In the Closet. David is well known at the gay box office. [8] Richard Harmon won the role over more than 1,000 Los Angeles actors when his video taped audition impressed the producers.[9]
Belgian actor Timo Descamps approached the project's producers after seeing a casting notice on-line. In addition to the acting, he saw the film as an opportunity to feature his musical talents to a new audience. [10] Patti Carns Kalles was hired to handle the Seattle, Washington casting.
Judas Kiss release on October 25, 2011.
