The Man in the Trunk

The film was originally written to take place entirely in the hot golden desert of inland Southern, CA. When it was suggested that production resources within the filmmaker's network were more readily available in northwest Arkansas due to family, friends and a previous film having been shot in that area the picture had to be revitalized and considered moving chase scenes from sand to snow and rocks to woods.

As Andrew and Steve leave the house to go wherever it is that Steve has in mind, crickets are heard chirping in the night. Sorry, but not at Christmastime. Male crickets "sing" to attract females and repel other males during the mating season which would have ended sometime in the autumn. They would all be silently hibernating underground by late December.
