Crew members dispute the directorial credit Routt received for the film alleging thatRandall Emmettcoordinated several production elements while remaining unlisted on call sheets and avoiding the spotlight. According to props assistant Michael Castro, "He (Routt) literally was pretending he was directing the scene that was going on - looking at the monitor and then looking over at the action and making hand movements to make it look like he was telling people what to do. It was all make-believe."[8]
