There are a lot of things in this world to be 'peeved' about, but I have to
say that misspelling guerilla is right at the bottom of my list of things to
worry about. However, thanks for the laugh. Oh, and you may want to Google
Gorilla Film Production Software, used in budgeting and scheduling of
people, locations, and materials. It outputs schedules, cast lists, crew
sheets, and call sheets among other things. Many guerilla film makers are
Gorilla customers.
