Yes. Most of the film was shot on location at the L.A. County Probation Department’s Camp Vernon Kilpatrick, located in California’s San Fernando Valley (See Google Map). More than 100 inmates, mostly gang members, went about their day as the movie shot around them. The actors and the inmates were asked not to address one another, but some exchanges did occur. The practice scenes were shot on the camp’s actual field, which is only about sixty yards long.
