    • Trivia
      This $150 micro-budget movie was made with borrowed equipment and a completely volunteer and amateur cast and crew. Shot guerrilla style in Toledo, Ohio while director Tom Madigan was only a 21-year-old student, it is rumored that one particular scene was even shot with the director behind the camera in his underwear in an effort to relieve the building tension between actors on location.
