I shot the film in my apartment in San Francisco in 2011. Using your own kitchen as a set certainly has its downsides, so does working with dead fish, as you can imagine. And no, I did not end up eating the fish, after several trips in and out of the freezer I was happy to dump the stinky motherfucker in the compost bin. That is, until the following week, when I would be obnoxiously picky at the fishmarket in choosing yet another black bass to star in the next scene...
