Fun Facts:

• This film was made in about 20 days.

• This film was the first time we had ever shot negative 16mm.  We had shot 16mm a couple times before, but never got to see the results.

• This is the first film we've made with dialogue

• The person originally intended to pay the "white man" dropped out last second.  Colin had come to drop off Tiffany, and Chris asked him if he wanted to read through the script with him.  After a little coaching and rehearsing, they started shooting that night.  Colin had never seen the script before that day.

• Victoria, Chris, And Eric, due to their hectic work/school schedules, did not sleep for 5 days in a row during the production.

• There is a rumor that real bullets were used in the film, which isn't true.  We took empty shells and added bullet tips to them, without anything inside.  Thus having real bullets, that were empty and harmless.

• Colin does not actually smoke

• Eric had never acted before

• Chris wrote the script in 2 1/2 hours

• about %90 of the audience at the premiere was horrified and disgusted

• The film took 4 days to shoot, and 3 days to edit

• All the footage was shot on a Bolex 16mm camera, which is not sync sound.  So Chris had to speed up each shot to %107 so that the dialogue would sync correctly

• The idea from the film partially came from an incident that happened the day before production began, where Eric's dad got in a fight with someone over a near miss car accident, and the other man called Terry "egg foo young"
