The original concept was just a parody of the opening jungle trek and temple scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark. The project was put on You tube for fun but was quickly noticed by Jimmy Buffett's Media Director. The crew was contacted about showing a five minute trailer during a Jimmy Buffett concert on 08/12/2006 and it was during the intermission in front of 19,900 people. The film makers met Buffett and he told them that he wanted to make a cameo, something they have been pursing to this day.
