 As a producer, Watson, was in discussions with several no budget  filmmakers for them to helm the movie. Discussions went down to the  wire with the most interested director telling him the film might be  "too controversial" for him and so Watson took the duties of  director since no one else would do it. Watson now refers to the  film in interviews and chats as his "directing film school". He  later tried to take his name off the film and put in the pseudonym  "Buck Jones Jr" because he felt it was a group effort directing  the film but was convinced to do otherwise by the crew. Buck Jones  JR does appear in the credits as a crew member and more in several  places.
