• Audience reaction to #CampXRay was sooooo much better than the screenings I went to at Sundance! Lots of laughter (at the right times)! :D
• Peter Sattler talking about using Muslim Public Affairs to make sure the film showed BOTH sides of the story. 
• Kristen had a consultant to get into 'army shape'
• They'd call JB (not HBG) to make sure the army stuff was right.
• Authenticity was IMPORTANT to Peter Sattler in making #CampXray
• #CampXray was inspired by some stock footage that Peter saw a few years ago about a soldier & detainee interaction with a book.
• Gina Kwon talking about how she got started on #CampXray ... She read the script and LOVED it!
• It was really helpful that the set was in LA, especially for Kristen (being the A-lister she is) and a low-budget. 
• Gina suggested for the cast to have a night of go-carting to get acquainted with each other.
• The party/boat scene was total improv.
• Apparently there are a lot of deleted scenes of Kristen and Lane. Ummmm can we see those!?!?

• He originally wrote a scene where one of the characters mentioned a twi film and then decided to remove it.
• Peter Sattler mentioned how K would worry about minor things like how to hold her hat so they'd call their army consultant for her  lol
