[edit] Trivia
- Filmed in at the Bridge Studios, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.
- The film was a co-operative venture involving 15 equal partners who committed their time, talent and energy to the project.
- Lindsay Bourne, the writer/director, was actually inspired to create the piece and enrolled the other partners as the result of the Self-Expression and Leadership course he was taking at Landmark Education. Although he was already a credited screenwriter, he created Stuck as a community project.
- Lindsay’s sole intent was to get people thinking and questioning which he hoped would lead to greater acceptance of other and differences.
- The set was built in a Sound Stage at the Bridge Studio in Burnaby, BC that was being used by the series, Jeremiah, at the time. The entire movie was shot in three and a half days (spared out over two weekends) to fit with everyone’s busy schedule.
- Mr. Bourne had originally intended to shoot the movie in four continuous 90 minute takes by popping off the four walls of the “elevator” set one at a time but he made the last minute decision to shoot it the more conventional series of takes. The cast was, however, rehearsed to run the script flat out for the full 96 minutes like a play as the result of about six days of rehearsals (spread out over a month) at Mr. Bourne’s house.
- Mr. Bourne is still considering mounting a stage version of the movie.
- Amanda Tapping and J.R. Bourne previously worked on Stargate SG1 togther. As Samantha Carter and Martouf/Lantash respectively.
