Production

Filming began in September 1997 and went for several weeks.

The director used the same camera (a Minolta Master Pro 8-918) he used to film the first movie and this movie. During filming, Larry needed permission to film at certain locations for the film. This lead to him fundraising around $15K for the film's budget.

Editing for this film didn't begin until later in 2011. This resulted taking a year and a half; editing all four movies.
