Anecdotes

Roulette is a 2011 American independent thriller–drama film written and directed by Erik Kristopher Myers. The story centers on three characters troubled by their pasts and gambling with their lives through a game of Russian roulette, only to find that their lives are connected through overlapping events that have consequently brought them together.

Production

Roulette was filmed in Maryland, including Baltimore, Columbia, Ellicott City, Monkton, and Towson.

Initial filming took place between August and December 2008. The volunteer cast and crew were graduates of Towson University or were referred by associates. Equipment was borrowed and cast and crew were packing their own lunches. "We were attempting to push the limits of resources and experience", said Myers. Myers was facing a lay-off from his job and his wife was driving a car that was nearly dead, and the film was paid for on credit cards.

Nearly a quarter of the film had to be reshot during the winter of 2009–2010 due to a legal entanglement with an actress who was replaced by Michelle Murad. It took six months to reshoot the twenty-five minutes due to the need for specific weather so that the overlapping storylines made chronological sense.

The "Baby Scene" that ends the film was shot and edited as a stylistic homage to Psycho, and also to rival the "crucifix masturbation" in The Exorcist.

The film was edited by Erik Kristopher Myers.
