There was a third story, with James Van Der Beek as a college student realizing his sexuality, which was subsequently cut out of the film.
Selma Blair's totally nude sex scene in Storytelling was so graphic that writer-director Todd Solondz had trouble watching it on-set. But Blair told Backstage that she had no problem at all being naked in front of cast and crew. "I'm not the most guarded person, so it doesn't bother me. If anyone wants to see it, go ahead. Usually I don't think they care. The crew is too busy eating a sandwich or something," she laughed.
Todd Solondz refused make cuts to the sex scene between Vi and Mr. Scott to obtain an R-rating from the MPAA, and instead opted to crudely censor the scene by digitally inserting a red ribbon in the shot over the action as a way of expressing his contempt at being told to alter the movie.
Emmanuelle Chriqui, Adam Hann-Byrd, and Heather Matarazzo also filmed scenes that were cut from the film.
