Basically, the school district agreed they could film at a high school five months before principal photography started. But then parents held a meeting and complained and wrote letters to the school board, and the district backed out the week they were supposed to start filming, and it set back costs and scheduling of the entire production.

I've had time stamps work. And others not work.

There are different ways to time stamp, so I suspect that's a bug part of things
