A couple interesting tidbits that I learned from hearing the director speak:
While this was staged - in many circumstances the only people that knew what was going on was the respective store/theaters owner. In the scene where he breaks into the theater, he actually DID hang out behind the movie standup and wait until closing. Aside from his permission to be there BY THE OWNERS he was really honestly breaking in. The safe openings were reenactments, but the ways that he got into each establishment, the ways he did recon, the way he faked being a health dept worker and walked around the store with a camera. The time he got into the grocery store's front office to check out the safe, that was all real.
Maliq (the director/Kaspar Karr) stated that he grew up around people who did this stuff for a living. The ways he showed in the movie were the ways his friends worked and not hollywood BS.
Fascinating all the way around.
