What was the most challenging aspect of making this film?

On any independent movie, you only have a certain amount of days and money. This was another race against time, but in a beautiful way. I feel like the pacing of this really lends itself to the pacing and the mood; the pacing of how we shot lends itself to the pacing of the movie because there's an energy. You're on your toes from the very get-go, and it doesn't let up, and that's how we felt.

Fortunately, we were shooting in the director's hometown. His family had their heels in the ground there for some time. We got a lot of production value out of things that should have normally — well, things that looked ten times more expensive than they were. I'm really proud of it, actually. It's a real powerhouse movie.

The way the film ended seems like there could be a sequel. Would you be interested in making one if that opportunity came up?

Yeah. I'd want to be there from the seed of the idea and see what we can do. I'm not a huge fan of rehashes, sequels, prequels, and all that stuff. I've never really done it before in my career. I'm a huge fan of original ideas and original thoughts. For me, it would have to virtually be a new character. In a weird way, he kind of is at the very end. We'll see. I'll broach it, but a lot of it's going to come down to the story.
