Q. How did the project come together? Was it difficult to get this film off the ground and into production? What were the major challenges? 
Todisco: At first, obtaining the financing was extremely challenging... I only raised about a quarter of the money needed to completely finish the film, and was about to lose a major shooting location... So I decided I could shoot all the scenes that took place in that location and spend all the money, and then try to raise the rest. Well, thanks to extensive planning with my production team and with my DP Doug Shannon, we shot the scenes and they looked gorgeous.... I cut together a 5 minute promo reel of the best shots and I sent that to potential investors. After they saw that, raising the rest of the money was a piece of cake (to my surprise and joy).
