Production

An example of low-budget guerrilla filmmaking, the film cost a reported $350,000 and was shot in 15 days using a couple of Panasonic HVX-200 HD digital cameras. The producers secured a restored museum victory ship docked in Los Angeles and shot mostly at night, after museum patrons had left. Luckily the ship made a trip to a World War II San Diego event, affording the producers to get "at sea" footage for free.
