It was filmed entirely in Hamilton ON, CANADA at the following locations:
-John Street N. train tracks
-My house
-a local park
-Beautiful Longwood St. in the westdale community
-Sam Laurence park on the escarpment
-a downtown alley

There was a total of 6 shooting days due to the camera falling and the lens going out of whack. I had to re-shoot a bunch of stuff. It was all early shoots. There was no crew. Just the actor and myself. Derek and Chris never met during the shoot and never shared a scene. It was a very intimate shoot. I don't like a lot of people hanging around. The 'train' scene took the longest because we had to wait for a train to pass. After a while Derek and I got kicked out of the area. We were actually  on CN territory. We lied and said we were doing a school documentary. Security was cool about it.

In the jogger 'Longwood st' scene I panned from L to R as the Jogger entered from the right and continued down the street. We did a couple of takes to get some people going by with dog's or bikes. As I started another take a Police car drove up the road towards the camera as the jogger passed. I said to myself the following : "please keep jogging, please don't stop your car in frame, please keep jogging, please drive past the camera...I don't care if you stop me...keep driving." The result is in the film.
