    Trivia: There are 4 entries in the trivia list – like these:

    • It took the better part of a year to get Colm Feore to sign on to play the role of The Preacher.
    • Jeff Campagna and Colm Feore met by chance in late 2005 on a plane coming back from London, England. A year later The Campagna Brothers shot the film and cut together the opening credits with Colm Feores face and name already included. They showed him the opening credit sequence on a laptop out front of a theater he had just preformed in, in Stratford, Ontario. It was after seeing himself already in the opening credits, that Colm Feore agreed to play the role of The Preacher, which was written specifically for him.
    • The crew of 7 drove 38 hours from Toronto, Ontario to Drumhellar, Alberta in a cube van they got from the famous Red Paper Clip trades. The van was given to them in exchange for a music recording session with Brendan Mclellan, who did location recording for the film.
