You saw from our perspective or luckily did not. As a family member, and living on 15th Street one block from the barricades to downtown Manhattan , I found myself on the frontline of history. I felt compelled to start documenting what was going on. Filming allowed me to go places and look at things that non-family members were barred from and that I couldn't experience as a "family member.
As a filmmaker, I not only went to those places, I met and befriended the people who created and were running them. This strange new world was not only the one I felt most comfortable in, it was in itself a fascinating world. What was happening on all fronts was groundbreaking, and I was in a unique position to bring cameras into those worlds.
As far as what happened to and inside of Cantor, Cantor had long been a part of my life.

I knew the people and the offices. I could see my brother's th floor office every day on my way back and forth from work. When September 11th happened, it was as if a bomb had exploded in my own living room. What were some of the challenges and obstacles in making this film, and how did you overcome them? The major obstacle is also the reason it was important to make the film. It was hard to find people to interview at Cantor because almost everyone had died. Those who hadn't were traumatized, shell-shocked and grief-stricken.
This was a complicated film to make.

Nothing could be done on this film like I had done before. The simplest things were made much more complex. In what setting do you interview people?
These were very emotional interviews, with people suffering from PTSD and every level of grief. I specifically did not want the types of answers from family members that I was seeing in other media outlets; those answers didn't ring true to me.
So, we created a special interview room enveloped in black duvatene, with no sunlight or outside noise; it became a safe cocoon where it felt like me and the interviewee were talking privately. Interestingly, another challenge came about because people did speak so candidly.

The family members spoke in this new language. It was a language long on short-hands, gallows humor and the macabre—about things other people would have no idea about: We ended up having to edit around this language to make it understandable to our audience. So, comprehension and "translation" became another element to deal with.
On a larger scale, there was the challenge of finding a way for the audience to re-experience September 11th from a different point of view. September 11th is such a huge public event, and everyone believes they've seen and heard everything about it. So our challenge was for the film to flip the audience's perspective from their own, a public view, to ours, a private one. To go from observer to participant, from outside the buildings to inside the buildings. We tried to accomplish this by relentlessly staying within our storyline.
Everything is experienced from the perspective of our private world. Only the media provides touchstones to the outside world, since the media intersected both worlds public and private. This made for a huge filmmaking challenge. You had to be extremely disciplined.

An interesting sidepoint was what occurred during a lot of the interviews. No one had ever compared their stories of what had happened during the grueling beginning weeks and months, especially the Cantor people. The surviving employees had all dug in and worked non-stop on their little piece of the chaos. So I would get a lot of questions from them: How did the IT guys get the Bond Market up?
Who taught them how to trade in London? They really had no idea what had gone on outside their little world. As filmmakers, we had to piece these worlds together.
