Trivia
The film's premise is somewhat similar of the Stephen King short story, also called "The Ledge".

Goofs
At 1:12:27 into the movie, as the camera pans to Gavin on the ledge talking to Hollis, the sun is high casting only a partial shadow ton the gray building in the background. The camera then switches to just Hollis looking out of the window, and when it goes back to show Gavin again, the shadow on the gray building behind him covers it almost completely. But the next two times we see Gavin at the same spot the shadow moves back and forth, revealing that the scenes were shot earlier but cut in for the sake of the narrative.

Quotes
Gavin Nichols: [after Shana tells Gavin she and Joe are going to a new church that does missionary work in Uganda, that's against smoking, drinking, immodest dress for women and secular music]
[scoffs]
Gavin Nichols: Jesus Christ. Restrings your guitar one day, stops you from playing it the next.
Shana Harris: You're so flippant, aren't you? You have no idea what it's like to lose everything and to try and put it all back together again.

Great Film

Excellent film,that actually give the VAST Atheist people a voice,instead of the usual Hollywood,Christan guff. Very well acted. Thought provoking,and thoroughly enjoyable film. Many thanks. Best film I have seen in a long,LONG time. ;) What a refreshing change it is to have the Atheist character have all the winning lines. Loved it. I actually applauded at the end,and was pleased to say,I was not alone. Please do more like this. For far too long the religious type of film has gone unchallenged. ;)Liv Tyler is such a great actress,and she was on top form in this. Plaudits all round for those involved,and I look forward to seeing more films of this nature.
