This film is based on the production of a short film, that was not so "Super". It's somewhat biographical, and somewhat fictional, but in the end the names were changed to protect the innocent. "Super" filmed on one day, June 23, 2017, before the plug was pulled, resulting in "Black Caesar".
Financed entirely on Gary Evans' Thank You (Hazard) Pay for Covid-19, working as a crew member at Trader Joe's.
This production has been completely rewritten- folding in the previous Short title, Gary Evans and Robert Lax's "Super", along with Peter Gailey's Off-Broadway play, "E Train to Hell", to create a feature length version of "Black Caesar".
Unit Production Manager Nick Desercio is also a UPM at NBC's Rainbow Room and for Jimmy Kimmel.
