They didn't seem to have any professional equipment. They used auto focus on their camera. I mean, honestly. Auto focus. It sounded like the mic was an omnidirectional mounted on the camera. The lighting was just a flood mounted at whatever angle the director thought would look good. For tracking, I *think* they mounted the camera on a skateboard for a couple of shots and pulled it along, complete with sudden jerks and jolts.
They didn't have actors. At least I hope these weren't actors. If they were rappers or gangsters or something in real life, and simply decided to be in this movie, then that is understandable. I think that's the case as IMDb lists this as the only movie for the vast majority of the participants. Exacerbating the poor quality sound, everyone mumbled. It caused you to lean forward, trying to catch what they were saying until you realized it didn't really matter.
They didn't have a writer. Or, specifically, someone to proofread and edit Tyrone McClain's rambling script. There were several attempted and aborted subplots. I still have no idea what the "Pencil Killer" subplot was supposed to add to the story.
They didn't have an editor. If you trimmed the useless fat out of this movie it would run at about 40 minutes. It would still be a horribly produced movie but at least it would be over quick. As it is, it runs just over 2 hours.
They did have two attractive actresses who provided the only positive attributes to this movie.
On the positive side this was obviously a labor of love for McClain since he wrote, produced and directed. It's tough to wear all those hats alone and get the movie completed but he did so. According to IMDb it's his first professional attempt so kudos to him. I hope he can do better in future outings.
