Trivia The movie was shot in 2002 using the Canon XL1 camera (standard definition) with Zeiss prime lenses. RatPack Productions also decided to use this movie as a launching pad for a new prototype device called the PNS, which had a spinning prism meant to give the image a more diffuse film look. The device often created sound problems on set and sometimes didn't work at all. It would rob the camera of light and quality and was considered a major mistake to use by the production crew, but RatPack insisted on it. See more »
