Assistant Director Steven Cardona had worked on a live combat show with both D. Duckie Rodriguez and Shiva Rodriguez in 2001. So when the original actor playing "Thor" dropped out during production, Steven jumped into the role at the last minute.
The production had a lot of uncanny mishaps during filming, including equipment malfunctions, confrontations with the local wildlife, and a brush fire breaking out in the forest near the shooting location.
Director Shiva Rodriguez has performed for theatrical combat shows and chose to play the part of "Sigyn" because of the stunts involved on the concrete floor of the location. She was injured during a fight scene on the last day of shooting and directed the remaining scenes with her arm in a sling.
The fog machine used for Odin's scenes broke down in the middle of the night during filming. To compensate, the crew blew cigarette smoke in front of the camera lens.
