"It was great to be back in NY with my old crew!" says Dustin. "We worked fast and efficiently to shoot up to 6 scenes per day, sometimes up to 15 talent per day. The art department—Chelsea Maruskin and crew—did an amazing job turning a suburban home and a Tribeca loft into multiple unique locations. We even fabricated a bus stop for one scene because we wanted it to read like 'anywhere America.' The one day we shot exclusively outdoors it poured rain. We pivoted, made the most of the challenging circumstances, kept shooting and made some wonderful images."
