 The production company, Wysiwyg, challenged the cast and crew to  conceptualise, write, shoot and do a rough edit of the film in 80  hours. On a Friday morning at 9:00 they received a phone call which  randomly presented them with a genre and title from a list compiled  from associates around the world. They received "Dead Eyes", the  romantic comedy. 80 hours later, Monday afternoon at 17:00 the cast  and crew finished a very rough cut, already scored with original  music and a solid story.
