On the second floor of Lucero’s compound is a shrine which Ida Random designed as an homage to Mexico’s Jesus Malverde, the "patron saint" of drug traffickers, a criminal hanged in 1909 and now a popular figure among Mexico’s drug dealers and often compared to Robin Hood. "We didn’t put any images of the Devil in the film, since that would have been too over the top," insists Random. "But we show the Devil in the film’s darkness, and especially in the Malverde Shrine, where we utilized lots of voodoo imagery."
For five days, the Inyokern Airport and hangar, in California’s Indian Wells Valley near the city of Ridgecrest, was transformed into a Mexican border drug smuggler’s desert hideout. It is here that Vetter and Hicks have an explosive meeting with Hollywood Jack Slayton and where principal photography on A Man Apart was ultimately completed.
