In his 2007 autobiography, Bass wrote, "That was it{{snd}} our film was finished{{nbsp}}... once the country went to [[War in Afghanistan (2001–present)|war]], there was no way our film was going to be on anyone's top-priority list."<ref name="Autobio146">{{cite book|last =Bass|first=Lance|title=Out of Sync|page=146}}</ref>
