Trivia

Things worth knowing

• 1Tight 79-minute runtime — shorter than most television pilots.
• 2Released 14 years ago.
• 3Directed by Adam Leon, shot by Jonathan Miller. Note their partnership — DPs and directors often return to each other across a career.
• 4Original score by Nicholas Britell. Worth a dedicated listen after — most great films lose half their impact without the score.
• 5Editor Morgan Faust shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.
• 6Tashiana Washington and Ty Hickson and Zoë Lescaze carry the top of the cast.
• 7IMDB entry: tt2139919 — still the authoritative cross-reference for credits and trivia.
• 8Only 40 TMDB ratings — you're getting ahead of the curve on this one.
