When they discovered the film needed to be feature length, the team submitted a few key plots to a writer to write the script. However, when they reviewed the script, it did not fit the vision they were trying to achieve. After a re-write and a still dissatisfied team, they decided to write it themselves.

"I threw in some stuff," Terveer said. "Apparently [White and Thompson] can't write for a girl, how they talk and stuff. So I wrote some stuff for the girls."

When it comes to working together, this is not the first time they have combined talents. White and Thompson completed "The Plan," a less than four-minute film submitted to the One Night Stand 10-Hour Film Festival. The pair won the grand prize and the audience choice award.

White and Terveer worked together on a short film in the Reason to Vote film competition on campus. Their film "You Gotta Vote," won first place. The trio made a 30-second commercial for Premiere Paranormal Research Inc. that runs on 38 The Spot.

Thompson said he has a few goals he is keeping in mind with the making of this film.

"First, to prove we can do it, distribute it ourselves and not go through the Hollywood system," he said. "Second, to prove we can change the game, even though we are in college."

They all agree that although they have goals in mind, the best part of making the film is working together and having a good time.

"The ability for us to spend tons of hours together in a room and still walk out laughing has been the best part so far," Thompson said.
