Principal photography for Whose Shit Is This? took place during the SUMMER of 2005 in the Columbia, South Carolina areas. A good portion was shot on the historic grounds of the University of South Carolina currently known as The Horseshoe. The Horseshoe dates back to over 200 years (The original campus) and a few of the buildings (now campus dorm rooms/ office) housed injured soldiers during the Civil War. There is a shot in WSIT?, if you look closely in the background, a white ectoplasm-like figure floats just behind Brenna's head (Shaun Alan).

The entire shooting and the second unit shots weren't complete until WINTER 2006, AFTER its test screening when James Wan, director of "SAW", was present during the AUGUST 2006 screening at the Nickelodeon Theatre in Columbia, SC. James was actually in preproduction for "Death Sentence", starring Kevin Bacon. Several media arts students at the University of South Carolina were involved with "Death Sentence" and were able to invite Mr. Wan right on over to see the 'shit'. Thanks, guys!

FACT: The VERY NEXT day after James Wan saw "Whose Shit Is This?", he mentioned to a few of his crew members that while he was on the crapper, he couldn't help but think of Whose Shit Is This?! The same may have, or will happen to you--after all, it is about SHIT! Right??

Here's some Whose Shit Is This? trivia:

-The cast and crew had lots of fun (and, yes, it shows!) shooting this shit, although it was extremely hot during a couple of shoots and a couple of folks nearly suffered with heat stroke. There was only one day that the weather decided to act like shit and the sky broke with sheets of hard rain- but the cast & crew wound up making a gag reel out of it anyway. This is when Donna R. Clark (Writer/ Director/ Producer/ Sara) slipped and sprained her ankle.

- Donna R. Clark actually didn't want to shoot this film because she didn't want to be associated or remembered by producing a 'shit'-related film. She got over it.

- Pre-production, beginning from concept to script rewrites, budgeting, and storyboarding took a total of 14 months before actual principal photography started!

- The film was shot with a Canon XL-2 video camera.

- Why the asterick symbol? -----> * <------think about it. It looks like a sphincter.

-Brenna was initially going to be played by a 'real' female, but after considering originiality and what else could and would 'work', Richard Best and Mike Perry (Creative Consultants) decided to think outside the box and really push the envelope on this one. The fact that Brenna is actually played by a male AND the fact that NOTHING is ever said about Brenna being a masculine sorority girl or even trying to act feminine is what makes it work. Honestly, if Brenna was played by a female "..it would be quite dull...". It just puts another spin on the film. "Brenna is just BRENNA!" (says Donna R. Clark)

-An actual toilet was clogged just to get the 'right' shit-clogged sound. This was fun, especially since there wasn't a drain in the bathroom!

-That's a real Martini glass that breaks in the 'party scene'. Who was it that cut their hand? Oh, yes! David N. Vassalotti (Director of Photography)

-That's a real university building exploding, with real people running in the foreground. This was by pure luck!

-ALL the shit was fake, even the dingle berries dangling on the toilet seat. The actual recipe for shit is a hidden shitty egg-xtra on the DVD.

-The Shit Monster in the film is a reference to anything you see appropriately similiar in your life. Most tend to view the monster as drama itself. Others see it as the problems with the economy. Create your own monster if you will.

- Besides the shit-related jokes, there's a lot of analogies and things going on in this film. This is why some audiences have considered this film to be interestingly clever. Some of it may be overlooked if you blink or don't pay attention to the background.

- There have been some comments made by college students about turning this film into a drinking game for everytime the word 'shit' is said and seen in the film. Please be careful if you do this! As many times as the word 'shit' is in this film, this is a suicide waiting to happen!

- See if you can count how many times the word 'shit' is used in the film! E-mail your answers to producer@labelmeproductions.com

- Donna was a media arts student at the University of South Carolina, and 'NO' this was NOT a student project - even though it could have well been considered an independent study project!

- There were shit stains found on the walls of the 3rd floor womens' bathroom in the McMaster Building (Art Department, including Media Arts) at the University of South Carolina, but no one who took part in this film had anything to do with it. What a coincidence! May the shit streaker, whoever you are, act as an underground publicity stunt! Thanks so much for the nasty, shitty-ass work!

- The original idea of Whose Shit Is This? was actually conceived during a party at Jamie Martin's house (played Jamie). Jamie and a couple of her friends thought up the idea of a movie about 'people trying to figure out whose shit is in the toilet'. Jamie immediately thought up the title, laughing hysterically over this: "WHOSE SHIT IS THIS?" That's when Donna decided to write a screenplay about the shit -- and gradually after a full year the shit became an absolute reality. Even after principal photography, the shit grew and wound up with more and more symoblic references, ....."both political and personal, and we just ran with it--you definitely see this in the montage sequences. ..." It really does make it original and even funnier! See for yourself!

With the addition of the little pink flower in Brenna's hair in the latest cover, this helps to idenify the fact that the character on the right is 'supposed' to be either a female (Brenna) or a character of question. Honestly, it does NOT matter!

"I really feel that we do need to break the barriers of what society constitutes masculine or feminine [roles]. I mean, come on! Does IT really matter if so and so is a man or if so and so is a woman??? WE ARE PEOPLE, no matter what gender identity, color, sexual orientation, religion, etc." - Donna R. Clark
