"Mike and Heather and I rapped once or twice in New York and then we all wound up on a train together on the way out to Maryland. I think it was about a month and a half from the time we got cast until the time we shot the thing"

This quote by Joshua Leonard is most likely referring to a movie project he was involved in. Mike, Heather, and Leonard were cast in the job and had to travel to New York to rap once or twice. After their time in New York, they all end up on a train together en route out to Maryland. This suggests that the job was shot in Maryland, which the cast had to take a trip there together. The quote also discusses that it had to do with a month and a half from the time they were cast until the time they shot the important things. This indicates that the project was prepared and arranged in a relatively brief quantity of time, and that the cast had to move rapidly to get to the recording place. In general, this quote offers insight into the process of filming a job and the amount of time and effort that enters into it.
