BEHIND THE SCENES

The titular Stolen Van was rented from a carpentry shop and broke down multiple ways until finally deemed unsafe to drive.

Stolen Van was filmed guerrilla style in the streets of Manhattan. Scenes were filmed on location during the Persian Nowruz Parade.

To save money, the bedroom was painted in sections to play as two different locations in the film.
