Trivia

  • Femke Klebb gets her name from the James Bond villain Rosa Klebb.
  • Filmed in southern California with half the writing team in Wisconsin and team members stationed in Charlotte, NC. Producer Chris Moehr, Editor/Actor Chad Halvorsen, and Sound Guru Cory Kaseman drove the 2 and a half days to CA to join the LA crew.
  • Candace Ostler's parents drove and provided the red Corvette featured in the film.
  • The poker table scene has two camera angles but was filmed without moving the camera. The actors rotated around the table to create the two angles. This is also the same room Violet crawls in through the window.
  • The required line of dialogue was "I have a funny feeling about this." This is (possibly) a misquote of the famous Star Wars line "I have a bad feeling about this." Chad Halvorsen commenting, "If you're going to quote Star Wars, at least do it right," in the writers' room led to the exchange between the Yuris being written into the script.
