    Unfortunately our making of intern filmed some footage with a dust mask over the lens for about an hour on one of our prep days, then quit. Oh the joys of low budget filmmaking. One of our fantastic producers Heather Dhalstrom did shoot some BTS footage, and here are three links of unedited diary style material:

    Thanks Matteo,
    I can't tell you what a pleasure it is working with Mark Kondracki our composer. He just finished the score for my first feature Art Machine, and it was another killer collaboration.

    Bon travail! Un film tres amusant. A calmly riotous investigation by the film's protagonist - really enjoyable! Creative, fluid, yet wisely economic. Hope to see more from you DK...
