I was an extra on this film along with several other members of a local community theater company from nearby Gilroy and Morgan Hill. During the parade scene in San Juan Bautista, the driver of the vintage tractor pulling the wagon of farmers was supposed to stop when surrounded by rioters. However, the driver, and owner of the beautifully restored John Deere, didn't seem to understand his roll and kept right on driving past the mark and out of the scene. After a couple of resets, Director Korty finally parked the wagon on it's spot. It should also be noted that there were children on the farmer's wagon in the initial scenes, but when the riot breaks out, the children are no longer present. The director did not want to take a chance on them getting hurt in the "riot."
The night scenes in the tent were actually filmed inside a warehouse.
