I made this film at the San Francisco Art Institute. I shot the entire film by myself in one day on an Arriflex. It was filmed on Kodak RAR gun camera film, which I hand-processed as a negative and sent out for a workprint. I edited the workprint, which became the final version of the film. -Brian L. Frye
