Production and Casting
Yi Yi's principal shooting began on April 8, 1999 and lasted until August 21, 1999. Prior to this, Yang's script had required the children to be aged ten and fifteen, but Yang later found Jonathan Chang and Kelly Lee, both of whom had never acted before. When shooting began, they were eight and thirteen respectively. Yang made amendments to the script accordingly.

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or casting:
“The repossession by women of our bodies will bring far more essential change to human society than the seizing of the means of production by workers.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Reason sits firm and holds the reins, and she will not let the feelings burst away and hurry her to wild chasms. The passions may rage furiously, like true heathens, as they are; and the desires may imagine all sorts of vain things: but judgement shall still have the last word in every argument, and the casting vote in every decision.”
—Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)
