: Producer Richard Switzer is a dear friend of mine, like a brother. We've worked together many times. He contacted me, sent me the script, and said,"Hey, Tom, I know you've never done an action movie before, but if you read the script, I think it's going to have some elements that you really like." I did a lot of horror movies and a little bit of crime drama. Although this script was an action movie, it had some horrific elements. It had some crime drama elements.
Reading the script off the bat, there was so much action. Believe it or not, this entire movie was shot in 15 days. Shooting all that action in only 15 days was going to be a challenge, and that's why it was all about prep, prep, prep. It was like a 'Rocky' training montage. The whole six to eight weeks before, I methodically planned out every single shot in the movie, so there was limited time to think about what I would do when I got to set. I spent all my time executing.
It helps. They all service each other because, coming from an acting background, you can be in tune with some of the considerations an actor might be making and some of the concerns that they might have. Coming from a writing background, it was helpful because there were some situations in the collective where creatively, I had to do an on-the-fly change-up because maybe the location wasn't quite like how it was written in the script.
