I was actually in this film, uncredited as an extra. You can see me in the bank scenes, sitting behind the principal actors in a dark jacket pretending to do paperwork.
The bank scenes were filmed in Fullerton, at the Chapman building on Harbor Blvd, back when it was Pioneer Bank. The crew was pretty unfamiliar with how to film a lot of the shots they wanted. The camera-man seemed particularly perturbed when I told them you can't film a computer monitor without a filter or it appears to flicker. They didn't believe me and shot the sequence anyway - hence what you see in the final film.
I watched about 80% of this film and didn't care for it. What should have been an engaging idea was treated without taste and respect. The fight scene near the end when John head-butts another guy is so fake as to be ridiculous. The highlight for me was the 3 seconds outside the bank when we see Torkel, our then resident homeless man, playing himself. Too bad he didn't get screen credit - he was the most real character in the film.
