While director Hergott gave an outline to the actors, most of the performances were improvised.
Many of the actors did not know what the other actors where going to be doing, and therefore were reacting naturally.
Many of the actors did not know that the arrest was going to happen, and thought it was real. The crying and screaming during the yacht scene was real. The real cops were called after mayhem ensued on the yacht.
Director Hergott got the idea for the movie after being invited to a pyramid scheme meeting in real life. Many of the events in the movie occurred in real life.
Actors were told to remain in character the whole time they were on set. Microphones where placed around the house that were not functioning just so the actors would always remain in character.
