[edit] Footnotes

^ the budget was actually 200,000. i know, i was the producer's assistant (to jack janda) for the last 3 weeks of filming and all i DID was do the daily in/out of the money. 3/4 of it went to buying and processing of the film stock as it was shot on actual celluloid. i know we went a bit over by the time we wrapped and with post it possibly went to 400k. but at the time of shooting it was just a mere 200k.IMDB.
