From the beginning Alvy was both affable and informative. This gave us the guts to ask him to play Perry Blight, editor-in-chief of the Daily Comet. To our delight he not only agreed, but provided advice on different aspects of filmmaking. Buoyed by this, we started asking other celebrities we had met at various science fiction and fantasy conventions. This was back in the day when the conventions were smaller and more intimate. Then it was easier to meet a celebrity after a panel or some other event. For that matter, it wasn't all that uncommon to bump into one as he or she strolled the convention floor or hotel hallway.

When it was all said and done, we had an amazing group of seasoned professional rounding out our cast. Their performances helped to raise the quality of our production and bring awareness to the public when it was completed. All of them were wonderful to work with; tireless and uncomplaining, often working in the middle of the night. Oh, and they all worked gratis.
