Out Loud: Making of Documentary: As filmmakers, we were unprepared for the challenges and trials that we would encounter during the filming of the movie "Out Loud". The entire film was shot on location in the director's native city of Zahle, Lebanon, a city and nation of conservatism and intolerance. The prevailing strictures of morals and politics clashed with the controversial nature of the subject matter of the film, creating a recipe for trouble. From the very beginning the cast and crew were the targets of insult and violence from the local population. The director, cast and crew members suffered physical injuries at the hands of angry mobs. Anti-gay and anti-women's rights protesters blocked and disrupted shooting and equipment was destroyed and stolen by angry residents. Several crew members succumbed to the rhetoric and violence and were forced to quit the film to save their families and their places in their community. As a result, completing the production was never a given. Eventually, military protection was required to complete filming. In spite of this, obstacles continued to plaque the production, including the death of a dear friend, debilitating personal injuries and the wrath of relatives and friends, making the movie set almost impossible to manage at times. Due to ongoing complications in the Middle East, post-production was moved to the United States.
