The film, made by Bruce Branit and Jeremy Hunt to display their creative skills in low-cost digital filmmaking, has brought the pair considerable notoriety. ""This is a preview into the future, when two filmmakers can put their film online and reach 2 million consumers without going through the studios or networks," iFilm CEO Kevin Wendle told USA Today.
