Production

Of the genesis for Rhythm Thief, Matthew Harrison said he "had a two page idea that I wrote quickly. I didn't want to get caught up in the development process. I had the actor I wanted—Jason Andrews—and a building to shoot in." Based on his idea, Harrison and Christopher Grimm collaborated on a screenplay.

In June 1993 Harrison and producer Jonathan Starch raised $11,000 to film on an 11-day schedule. Shooting commenced on June 7, 1993, based out of 124 Ridge Street Gallery on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Said Harrison, "I just wanted the DP, his assistant, the sound recordist, and the boom person. Starch, the producer, was also the script supervisor, the production manager, and the assistant director, all in one.

Most of the film was filmed downtown near Delancey Street in a neighborhood Harrison described as "more of a nightmare than the film shows". The filming activity raised the attentions of local police, but Harrison said the police ignored the necessary permits when they found out the crew was only shooting a movie.
