Q: What were some of the challenges you faced while filming?
BD: We shot in New York City, so there's always a million people around doing their best to get in the way. On the day we were filming Amanda's character, dressed as a nun with a shotgun, two middle aged women jogged by said to us "you know, with everything that's going on in the world right now you think you'd show a little more respect with what you're filming."
Meanwhile, we were filming up the street from a monastery and actual nuns were passing by all day long. They stopped to watch, they were laughing, waving, and applauding our heroine.
So, two things occurred . . . a couple of lame moms let us know that we were on the right track. . . . while simultaniously letting us know that the tables have turned, and now nuns are cooler than your mom probably is. It was a glorious day!
JC: (laughs) That question should be "what challenges didn't you face?" From the guy who wanted to fire up a leaf blower the second we called action (in the middle of the summer), to the guy who drove directly into out shot, almost running Brian over, because he didn't see the rest of the cast, crew, car rig, sound guy, etc. . . and thought that we just killed someone, in broad daylight, on a NYC street.
I guess that's the ultimate compliment to our special effects artist, Beatrice Sniper.
