The camera movement is choreographed like a dance - using steadicam for all the principal photography.
The complete film mixes mediums, techniques, and time frames - combining Super 16mm film, documentary video, and historic archival footage from the Internet.
The film's vibrant colors were captured in the night streetlights and the morning sunshine of downtown Manhattan - no additional lighting or color correction was used.
Higgins directed the film over Easter holiday '04 when she had a long weekend break from the set of The Interpreter (2005).
