  • 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!?!?
  • Talking about Payman Maddi :) Guys, he's soooo good in #CampXray
  • "It HAS to be Kristen! She's perfect!" -Peter Sattler
  • He worked with Kristen on UNDERTOW!
  • Peter saw THE RUNAWAYS and knew K was the actress! 
  • Apparently THE TWILIGHT SAGA is super popular at Guantanamo Bay .. They had copies laying around the office as a joke! 
  • There was an early draft of a scene with Lane where he talks to Cole about seeing Breaking Dawn .. LOL 
  • Real life soldiers stopped Peter after seeing the film at Sundance & they were moved by how accurate this portrayal was.
  • Peter wanted to end with hope. 
  • #CampXray was shot in 21 days!
  • 'The world's biggest star just signed on' - Peter Sattler .. Awwwwwwwww he's a fanboy!

  • 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
