PRODUCTION NOTES: Despite our lack of story concepts, we were determined to shoot a new film during the ‘07 winter holiday. It would be the first film since Superheroes to reunite AMF regulars Andrew Isaac and Jared Marshall.

After a late night at Denny’s we finally had our idea, though it was determined we wouldn’t have enough time to shoot before Andrew flew back to Maryland. So we agreed to shoot a standalone trailer instead.

The next day I received a call from Andrew and Kate. They had devised an entirely new story that was hilarious. The entire crew dined at Red Robin that night and fleshed out the idea. That same night, with no script, we feverishly started shooting. Three days later we were done and Andrew was gone. Editing started, pickups came a couple weeks later, computers crashed, hair was pulled, and the film was finished.

    That’s some very strange stuff. I wonder why only one guy was shot while the gun was being shaken side to side. Perhaps that’s the least to worry about considering everything else that’s happened…

    Litttttle gay at some points… Not quite sure what you were trying to go for in that matter but it was kind of a turn off. I did like the concept though, and I laughed out loud at a few parts because of the sheer wackyness of it.
