Co-Producer and Actor Steve Vander Hyden originally conceived the scene where Big T surprises Mateo on the massage table.
One of the more complicated sequences to film was Juliano driving to the gym. Since shooting permits were not in the budget, the crew organized several drivers to use their cars as a barricade to stall traffic behind the camera car. This afforded the crew enough time to get the shots without being rushed and still give the appearance of a busy intersection.
