Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Universidad del Cine is Argentina's most prestigious film school; alumni include Lucrecia Martel and Damián Szifron. Robbing it is almost sacrilegious.
Director Horacio Parisotto allegedly made this as his actual thesis project, casting himself as Splinter after the original actor dropped out last-minute.
