 The filmmakers struggled to find a kidnapper to film after the  bribes to get into the prison where their preferred interviewee was  staying proved too steep. The driver of a cab they used one day  delivered "packages" on the side for a kidnapper, and introduced  them to the masked man interviewed extensively in the film. Director  Jason Kohn (qv) also was at the kidnappers home when police  stopped by and walked around the outside, the one moment of filming  he said he feared for his life.
