Notes

- ^ Upon the first shooting day, it was announced to director David Winters that his father passed. Being emotionally troubled and with the funerals to attend, Winters was unable to perform his duties and passed it on to his assistant director Neal Sundstorm. However, he was informed that the investors had agreed to the film only if Winters was its director, and could face litigation, hence his credit.
