Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was director Kevin Speckmaier's feature debut after years in Vancouver's commercial production scene. The film barely registered on release and remains virtually unknown despite its polished craft.
Shot during Vancouver's late-90s boom as a 'Hollywood North' stand-in, the film ironically uses the city's actual streets as themselves—a rarity when most productions faked Seattle or unnamed American cities.
