The Hero Pose is the directorial debut of Mischa Jakupcak, an award winning producer who's worked in film for years. It is set in Missoula, Montana, where she is from.

Nikki Hahn, the young actress, quickly befriended a cat from the location. The cat, though not scripted, delivered a great improvised performance. Nikki, aged 10, was by far the most professional person on set, often correcting both Chaske and the director on the dialogue and script.
