Stephen Taylor's thoughts of the movie:
It seems that all the movies Bloomin' Films makes are spur of the moment things. This film was semi-planned but it wasn't arranged very well. Theatre East (a high school acting guild) was throwing a party; I'm not in the guild but I was invited due to my extreme coolness or something. I was filming the party all fun-like and getting cool people like Kevin, Sean, Keri and Jimmy on film being party animals. Being the movie director I am I blurted out the much said; "Let's make a movie!" Seeing as how it was an acting guild party a lot of people wanted to participate, so we actually had some real actors in a movie! The enviroment was very Deliverance-like (back country) so we filmed a movie with incestfull hillbillies, city-folk, and a model. With a little line-providing, we improvised the whole thing. The soundrack is very O, Brother-like with the exception of the credits music. The filming was the easy part, the next day the editing started... This was my first editing venture; Erik edited the opening credits and helped me with the program, and Sean helped in a few places, I edited the rest of the movie. We began editing and about 8:30am and didn't get done till' about 9:00pm. Erik was editing about an hour of that time and Sean was about 5 minuites. The rest of the time they were all over Keri, who provided us with her wonderful presence. We pulled through and finshed the movie... It was fun... It was purely my movie... I love it.

Sean Catlett's thoughts of the movie:
Pretty good for our first big project (big being only about 15 minutes long), and especially good for something Steve pulled out of our collective asses. No recent projects with this big of a cast has worked as well since, and we all seem to be afraid of asking actors to do it again. A great moment in time. We either got lucky or we've lost skill since then, take your pick.

Erik Klassen's thoughts of the movie:
Despite not playing nearly as big a part in the making of this film as I would have hoped, I was present from moment one of editing (I would hope so, it was done at my house) and I must say, it is one of our best films to date.
