Behind the Scenes

Mike had the idea for this film while we were eating dinner at I Love Teriyaki and Sushi. The idea was based on the briefcase in the film, which had been recently purchased at a local thrift store. This was the first idea Mike pitched out loud that Zorn actually laughed at. Rizzotti and Travis stopped what they were doing to drop their jaws and ask if Zorn had actually just found one of Mike's idea's amusing. It also helped that Mike used chopsticks and a napkin to pitch the idea.

Fascinating sentences with bullets:

  • During the filming of this video, a lot of outside cars and people disturbed our scenes
  • Rizzotti did the choreography for the ending dance
  • The original working title was "A Brief Transaction"
 
Crew Comments

"The opening shot is beautiful and I enjoyed editing this video on my new copy of Premiere Pro. As well, I loved the fact that we managed to get all the way through the pre-production and production phases of making this film without arguing (too much). Post-production, however, is another story..." -Travis
"Finally, a new movie!" -Zorn
"When I first thought of the idea I started laughing but I didn't think anyone else was going to like it; I'm glad people did." -Mike
"It's short and sweet. Also, I really like the dancing at the end and I want to do more choreographed dances." -Rizzotti
"Tour de force! BLOCKBUSTER! Two thumbs way up! Four stars!"-Peter
