The Last Vendetta is loosely associated with the "Caught in the Middle" short film(2009) and the web series "Caught in the Middle-Anthologies". Actor Jay Nunez filmed scenes as his character Mike Torres from both respective series but the scenes were cut in post-production. Only the characters of Marcus Baines played by Eric Darnell Redding and Katherine Chang portrayed by Erika Fong are mentioned in dialogue. This film takes place six weeks after the short film before it leaps fifteen years into the future for the web series. Writer/director Jay Nunez has been working on this story for over fourteen years.
