Info about the film by Dave Fugett
1. We had 18 days to shoot a 120 page script. Of course, we ran out of time so the first scene was never shot. The first scene was debated about from the start because we meet Grady and we see his act before he brutally kills a couple. My thinking as a writer was when we see Grady come across Brooke & the Hunter, the audience would know who he is but the characters wouldn't. Others felt that scene would be more effective if the audience had no idea who Grady was or if he was in cahoots with the Hunter.
2. We had no lights, no steadicam, just a jib arm. Bill manipulated the sun's light.
3. We shot in sequence so the last scene was on the last day. Made it interesting. Jon really wanted to kick my ass. He pushed down on my chest so hard, I had a huge bruise. I also didn't know my lines on that last day. The cast & crew looked terrified but I somehow managed to get it together.
4. Monica & I lost weight which is noticeable considering we shot in order. All the running Monica did really toned her up. Look closely and you'll see my face is thinner in the end.
5. For all you continuity buffs out there, we did make one big mistake with the sunroof in the Lexus when Brooke is confronted by Grady. We opened the roof to let light in but forgot to close it. Grady wearing the security guards hat when he returns with Derek, that was my gift to you. We did that one on purpose. "Where the hell did he get that hat?"
