Early into filming Task, Raul Castillo and Tom Pelphrey drove off set in Philadelphia to grab some lunch and get to know each other better. They were about to film the first episode's big drug-house rip-off, as Castillo calls itfull of precise choreography, tons of moving parts, and a lot of voices in the same room. Castillo was familiar with the director, Jeremiah Zagar, from a previous film they worked on together called We the Animals.
