Interesting facts

Ham on Rye is a 2019 American independent film directed by Tyler Taormina. An offbeat subversion of the coming-of-age genre, the film features an expansive ensemble cast of over 100 performers, including cameo appearances by actors Lori Beth Denberg, Danny Tamberelli, Aaron Schwartz, and Clayton Snyder.

Production

The film was shot in about two weeks on a RED Scarlet X 4K camera. The film contains over a hundred cast members and sixty locations.

Tyler Taormina says of the look and feel of the film:

It was really important for us to evoke the 60s, the 70s, the 80s, and the 90s. We wanted them all to be compiled in this aesthetic that was sheer nostalgia.

Director of Photography, Carson Lund, describes the stylistic choices as:

... an eccentric middle ground between art cinema polish and the simplicity of Nickelodeon shows Tyler and I fondly recall from our youth.
