Captive Audience is based on several real life Police Cases that the story was written around.
Background photos for Dawn Lyn Johnson's open scene were shot by her husband David Johnson and on location in Florida. Even though Dawn had been in location for Bloody Sisterly Love she was cast as an actress and second unit director for her work that gave the film its opening photos.
The Film was originally suppose to be released on September 30th and was later delayed to October 17th 2017. Also was originally suppose to be released through Amazon Direct to Amazon, but technical issues and the failing health of Director James Magnum Cook's Father forced a less than fully edited version to be released on the Magnum Caliber Films YouTube Channel. At the time of release Director Cook indicated a Special Edition to be release through Amazon Direct at a later date would be done. The rough cut being released was to show that the film overall had been finished for the fans and supporters of the film.
The most violent scene from the film was never released and even in Special Edition may never be released. Director James Magnum Cook even though a Horror Film Fan himself said the content of the flashback rape scene involving one of the on screen actors was to intense to release. Both Director and Actress agreed it would probably never be seen.
