Trivia

During the making of "Glory," the Court 13 production crew lived amid some 25 people in a mildewed, post-Katrina house they named the Hotel Bastardo. One day it was ransacked, and among the stolen items were the hard drives containing all the footage shot so far for Glory at Sea (2008)_. So the filmmakers posted fliers in the neighborhood offering a reward for the stolen footage, and soon after got a call from the thieves who arranged a no-questions-asked meeting at a nearby restaurant. Some of the Court 13 crew arrived with cash bu ended up waiting for hours, getting drunk and telling their sad story to the patrons. Angered, these loyal customers went home and came back to the bar with knives and a shotgun. Eventually, a large man arrived, followed by his companion, a 4-foot-5" transvestite. who turned out to be in charge. The deal went down without trouble, but as the thieves were leaving, one of the local cast members from 'Glory' approached them with the shotgun and warned, "If anyone ever goes in that house again, they're gonna have to answer to God."
