"The atmosphere on the set was very serious, but in between set-ups, one hot afternoon, I got all the actors pretending to play heavy metal band air instruments. We got very silly, like school chums and fell about laughing. Actors are the best people on the planet to have a laugh with. It's intoxicating."-- Jeff Stewart (Role of Jakob)
"When I thought they told me to throw the bell in the fire during the fireside scene. So I did! Perhaps it will end up in the bloopers."
-- Chloe Roe (Role of Marta)
"Where do I begin? It was a joy from start to finish. Even standing in the freezing cold rain in the middle of the night was 'enjoyable' as the crew was always ready with blankets and coats between takes."
-- Peter Iasillo, Jr. (Role of Vovik)
"Usually if you weren't in a scene you would go outside and hang around until they needed you again. During the down time in between scenes, some of the other inmates and I got pretty creative. We started to play what we called 'Yasha-ball'. It was basically trying to toss a rock through a 1'x 6" hole in a dilapidated wall while standing at a certain distance. We had a lot of fun."
-- Quentin McCuiston (Role of Yasha)
"YASHA-BALL, the new sport we hope to make a competitive Olympic event! All you need is a prison wall, a couple small stones, and time to kill! Creative credit to Quentin M. and Matthew S."
-- Sal Rendino (Role of Bruno)
"I come from theater, where you have to project your voice, and this was my first professional film. My first scene called me to howl like a wolf. There was the boom microphone above me and I went full force with the howling. The operator came to me and, very gently, asked me to try again in a lower voice. I did it, but it was barely audible. He came again and asked me for something in the middle. I guess it worked. Standing at a certain distance. We had a lot of fun."-- Horacio Lazo (Role of Pepchik)
