In the opening chase scene the film makers were able to shutdown the Wausau downtown street for 3 hours. It so happened that it down poured during the shoot. With limited time they had to film anyway. If you notice there are parts in the scene where it is bone dry and then soaking wet.
This is the first film Crooks produced where he flew in an actor from another country. Jose A. Manuel is from Puerto Rico and he found Jarrod on you tube. The two began talking and became good friends. Jarrod told Jose he wanted him in his up and coming film "Dispatched". At first Jose thought Jarrod was just being nice, but before long Jose was on a plane to Wisconsin to play Kevin.
