Dan Hammond, aka Bruno, is also an accomplished cartoon artist.
J. Robert Bellamy adapted the legend of Bruno from his time spent as a Scouts Canada leader.
In the Bruno POV scene where actor Dakota Thompson impales Bruno with a tree branch, the audible crack you hear is him connecting the branch with director J. Robert Bellamy's elbow and not the protective "binder" the director put on his chest.
Dan Hammond, the actor who plays the killer Bruno, is 6' 7"
Filmed in an actual working camp. Kenesseire Camp was the home for the actors for 11 days as they filmed.
