Much of Paul Thomas Anderson's filming equipment was caught up in customs at the airport, and he was forced to use the small camcorder in his bag and his producer's drone for filming all of his shots. Anderson would reference this in his acceptance speech at the 2015 Independent Spirit Awards, when he told the audience not to patronize the event's sponsor, American Airlines, because they will "lose your fucking luggage. I'm serious! It happened to me."
