Archetype is a loose sequel to Kentala's first film, Transmissions. The only elements in common are the characters of Ridley Kraid (also portrayed by Kentala in Transmissions) and Chris Collins. The latter is only heard and not seen in either film; in both films, Collins is voiced by Kentala. There's also a sequence in Archetype when Kraid visits his "old" house in Easthaven, which was the primary location for Transmissions.
Lacking a permanent make-up artist for the film, Kentala repeatedly hit himself in the face to give himself a black eye for the first section of the movie. A behind-the-scenes video titled "JDK Is An Idiot" chronicles one such black-eye session and can be found on YouTube.
Kentala appears significantly taller than most characters in a number of shots. This is because Kentala, in real-life, is 6'4", and his military boots raise his height about an inch-and-a-half taller.
Kentala, Tam, and actor Justin Cecka all played together in the same school band in junior high. Both Kentala and Tam played alto saxophone, and Cecka played in the percussion section.
