Before seeing SHELTER I watched this romantic little comedy thing called KISS THE BRIDE, directed by C. Jay Cox (his last film, "LATTER DAYS"). The two handsome leading men, James O'Shea and Philipp Karner, are unknown but very good in a film that also stars Tori Spelling as a bride who about to marry a man whose high school best friend (and former lover) comes back to town to attend the wedding and stirs up old feelings (in a "My best friend wedding" sort of way). About choosing Spelling, Cox said "it was important to get a name like Tori, in the landscape of independent film, it's so tough in sort of a crowded landscape of even a lot more gay films are being made. It's vital to get somebody who at least can give your film a bit more of a profile to help a movie stand out. I think it really helps to have a recognizable name. Tori was just perfect fort the role of Alex, the bubbly sensibility and absolutely loveable quality." Of his leading men, the director says: "I feel we were really lucky to get Philipp and James because they were perfect for the roles. Philipp lends this polished cosmopolitan air of someone who has lived in the city and moves in that world and he comes back to a small town. I just feel like they were both an absolute find and also a thrill to work with. Both are great guys,...We shot for 18 days, it was a really a tight shoot. They developed this great chemistry."
