So that’s the opening scene where Tyler has a boat. We can’t ever get anything for more than a day or two, so boom, it’s a road trip film, they’re going to have to be moving and traveling. I think when you’re young up-and-comers, it’s really just a game of, ‘OK, what do we have?’ Well, I’m from a very unique location and we could go there and shoot. But it really just came from what we had. As indie guys coming up-and by ‘indie’ I mean we never had money to make anything, so we had to do it really, really independently.

And ultimately, our producers on the film, Lije Sarki and Dave Thies were with us from the beginning and they knew the story.
