Due to the production's ultra-low-budget, the crew often joked on set that they were working with "tens of dollars".
The production's shot list was actually lost by an unknown crew member while shooting on location.
Whenever there were technical difficulties with the camera on set, DP Andrew Reynolds would
often declare: "I'M GONNA BURN YOU, CAMERA!" The phrase became the un-official on
set slogan for the rest of the crew during the production.
The short film was actually dedicated to the late Baltimore-based gothic poet, Edgar Allen Poe;
the late adventure novelist, Jack London; and to all the victims of tuberculosis who lived and
died at the Henryton State Hospital before it was abandoned. The authors were picked because
they are credited for originating the first ever works of fiction set in a Pandemic-caused-
Dystopian-future. The first being Poe's The Masque of the Red Death and the second being
London's unofficial sequel, The Scarlet Plague. The now-demolished ruins depicted in the short
film were, of course, also tied to infectious disease, forced quarantine, and mass death - as such,
the cast and crew sincerely hopes that the ghosts of those forgotten will forever rest in peace.
As usual, the Production Assistants were tasked with crowd-control on set during the production.
However, as several scenes were shot in public and in broad daylight, crew were tasked with
creating and holding up giant yellow signs that read: "WE ARE FILMING - THEY ARE
ACTORS". These signs prevented onlookers from interrupting the more violent sequences.
Baltimore County Police later thanked the crew for using said signs.
