> What did you shoot/edit on?
Canon XL1, PAL, frame mode
> Where was the location?
A bar called Bar East on the upper east side (formally Australia Bar). They have a basement bar that is used for special events so we could shoot all day and night(we shot one 16 hour day in the bar). The only problem was the bar upstairs opened at 7pm so we had to get all the shots that needed sound done by then because of the noise from upstairs.
The apartment was in Williamsburg. We shot about 6-7 hours there the next day.
> Did you have a budget?
$3000. $1000 to the DP, about $1500 for light rental and insurance. $500 on all the other stuff.
> Was the story inspired by real life?
It was inspired by a friend of mine. He would forget what happened after drinking and we would make up shit and tell him he did it. One day I saw a guy in a bar writing something in a little note pad (probably poetry or some crap) and I thought it would be a good idea to get my friend something like that so he could remember what happened. Thet was the insperation for the film. Originally i wanted to do a effects heavy film like "405", but i couldn't come up with an idea (or really an ending to any of my ideas) when this idea came to me.
> Was the journal written before the script by drunk people or was it created just for the film?
Just created for the film.
