To Survive

To prepare for his role Burt Culver walked over 200 miles from Gary, Indiana to Davenport, IA alone just prior to the start of filming. This is the distance his character Jonathan had traveled before the start of the story. With his long beard and fingernails, one café owner refused to let him pay for his meal thinking that he was homeless. He left money under his plate and later received an email from the café owner when she saw a news article about the film.

When Jonathon, Devin, and Shelly are leaving the church they are walking along the railroad tracks. They do not have any long guns. As they are walking towards the bridge, Jonathon has a shotgun in his right hand. As they continue to walk along the railroad tracks, there is no evidence of a shotgun. Although there is a shotgun later in the movie, there was none prior to this clip.
