   In an interview with The Belfast Telegraph, the film's directors Declan Lawn and Adam Patterson said the most appealing aspect of the project for them was the chance to discover how people fall under a con man's spell. Co-director Adam Patterson said: "What we found equally fascinating was what gets people under the spell. Is it just a question of them not being very smart? Of course not. We never think that. Our film says this is not a case of a master con man and a bunch of fools. It is a case of a man who is so good at what he does in terms of manipulation that anyone could fall under his spell."
