I worked on the movie also. Local crew was treated like crap, it's true. We busted our butts for this movie. But Tmoefoto is wrong to blame the director for being ungrateful. That guy thanked me a hundred times for my work. He'd come and have beers with the other gaffers on the truck after the shoot and you know he had other things to do. I still kept a note he wrote us to all to thank us for our dedication and to apologize that the money dudes were such crooks. Never had a director be so honest. And the producers were crooks. We had checks bounce on us. We were paid less than we were promised. We were asked to cut corners that decreased our safety and security. I will never, ever work for the producer Jack Nasser again that's for sure. But I've got nothing but sympathy for the talent, incl the director, who I think somehow made an amazingly good movie even though production was a nightmare. And from what I hear, post production was even worse. All in all, it's one of the few movies maybe the only I've worked on that I'm actually really proud of. Thought it was full of passion and really f-ing funny.
