Eboch, 34, lived in Juneau in the 1980s. ``I originally set the film in a small Oregon town,'' Eboch said. ``I felt if I set it in Juneau it would seem like an Alaska movie. Alaska is such a unique world to people in the Lower 48. I felt Oregon would make it seem more universal.''

Oregon was switched to Alabama at the request of one of the producers.
