Dan bribed director Joey Mosca with cigars and booze to play his character, Ryan O'Conner, as a pretentious oddball with heavy improvisation.
Bears were spotted near the location the day prior to shooting, which kept all of the actors on edge.
Sam & Dan advised Joey to add females to the script for diversity, but Joey would not bend from his original idea.
Sam was harshly pulled up a large tree by a groin harness for many takes at 3 am on a freezing night. The scene was omitted.
The film was well received in a Hoboken short film festival.
