“The film was four years in the making. It’s a wildly ambitious passion project that demanded a lot from the talented cast. Charlie Stover was an early find, and he’s gone on to star in the film Riddle of Fire. This whole cast is incredible, and I think the film does a good job of highlighting the fun we had. Whatever it took, we fought to pull it off, and with much thanks to the City of Saint George, we finally achieved every moment we’d penned. It’s an example of true indie filmmaking, all the while knowing we wanted more than a run-and-gun style. This was hard fought, and we’re all very proud of it. Whatever happens, however it’s received, it’s ours and we had a blast making it. Stay cool, and thanks for watching our film!” — Dan Bringhurst, Director
