Behind The Scenes

This is the biggest film Anthony had made in terms of scale, encompassing the many logistics encountered throughout the process. From building two elevator sets with their own hands to traveling to New York and Japan to film pivotal scenes, this marked his very first time working with SAG actors.

You’re invited to take a look into the emotional roller-coaster ride that was necessary to complete this super indie low-budget feature.
