FILM TRIVIA
Did you know?
The production was not allowed to go forward (unless all precautions were taken), and the staff pushed against having this production move forward.
The assistant director was no where to be found until the last moment before the shoot, coming in with an essential prop everyone had overlooked, the walkie-talkie.
The first explosion on screen is a mix of practical lighting effects enhanced with computer graphics visual effects.
The original film was shot as a one shot, but director Rashad Anabtawi and cinematographer Gabriel Jung worked together to shoot enough coverage to use in case Rashad wanted to discard the idea of an 8 minuet one shot.
This production is still used to educate the youth of Columbia College Chicago.
