Jeff shoots everything on video tape, and his cameras are all late 90s/early 2000s models. Steven and Tristen carry their manuscript with them, and there's mention of them using a computer just to back up notes - when even a few years later, the unfinished thing would be on a laptop. The twentysomethings communicate through email, with a noticeable lack of cell phones (except on the sheriff).
