Jones thought of how the story would all play out one evening driving home down Ventura blvd .
Filmed near Watts for authenticity per directors request. The crew could not film in certain areas due to a gang war.
No shot list was created for this film. Director came up with the shots on set. Including the fight scene; was choreographed on the spot .
Due to scheduling conflicts, Gloria Belle ( Suzanne ) director had to rearrange the script to keep her character in the story without her on screen after filming her first couple scenes.
Film will be submitted to film festivals, Vimeo, YouTube, and Indyoh.
Director Brandon James Jones didn't like several shots with "bad" performances by the actors so he cut and rearranged several shots in several scenes around until he got it to his pleasure.
