During pre-production, Klebanoff repeatedly came to one of the producers with requests to increase the budget, rather than focusing on confirming locations, casting, issuing instructions to hair, make-up and wardrobe and discussing logistics with them. The only reason he was asking to increase the budget at this precise time was to increase his own compensation which was, in part, tied to the budget. Also, during this time, he made a substantial number of erratic, last minute revisions to the script, without any discussion with the producers. This prevented the rest of the production team, cast and crew from cost effectively carrying out their responsibilities in making the picture. Typically the script is not substantially revised during the pre-production phase because the producers need to work quickly to secure the necessary locations and make arrangements for confirming and preparing the actors for filming. As the script kept changing, the producers were unable to act in a cost effective manner. This resulted in disorganization, confusion and wasted time and funds.
