A little history: In August 2008, Chana was approached by one of the staff members at the Academy for New Musical Theater in North Hollywood, CA. They were in the process of trying to get their writer-members to create "guerilla musicals" which could be performed in public spaces, filmed on camcorders, and then posted on the internet. The whole idea there was to write stuff that was going to get seen. Chana asked me if I was interested in participating and I said "yes." My only reservation was that the sound on the other guerilla musicals I'd seen wasn't great, so it made the lyrics and dialog difficult to understand. As we were writing the musical, I began thinking, "Sure would be nice if people could understand these words. What if we filmed this thing like a regular film?" I ran the idea past Russell Jones, a filmmaker-friend of mine with whom I'd worked before, and asked him if he'd be interested in helping out. He said yes, and before we knew it, we had a full-fledged independent short film going.
