The Box was an original concept by Calvin. The idea was for a "2 minute noir". It didn't go anywhere until he sent the "script" to Matt who reinvented the story to its present form. Laszlo, Matt and Calvin met at the Java Monkey coffe house a couple of times and worked out most of the nagging details and shots and then started shooting. Its been about a year in the making since we all have real jobs.
