Remember that last scary close-up we first showed you from behind-the-scenes of K-11, Jules Stewart's gritty prison drama (and directorial debut)?

Well, we've got another behind-the-scenes pic that takes you inside the walls of L.A. County's notorious K-11 unit and from the looks of the shot, this flick is about to get very intense.

So, what have we learned from the bird's eye view and what's the latest with Kristen Stewart's cameo?

This extreme aerial shot is from the beginning of the film when Goran Visnjiic's character, Raymond Saxx, has been arrested and is passed out from a three-day drug binge.

In this scene, he is being dragged into the L.A. County Men's Central Jail for processing, before being categorized "K-11."

The dangerous unit specializes in protection for LGBT inmates and the prison is ruled by a transsexual diva named Mousey (Kate del Castillo). So expect some heavy dish in Mama Stew's directorial debut.

Our K-11 source also shared some exclusive deets on the film—this behind-the-scenes shot was taken at the movie's main location: the Sybil Brand Institute for Women (now defunct) in Monterey Park, Calif. The crew member up top walks on the chain-link "cage"—a real feature of the jail meant to keep prisoners from jumping from one level to the other while being transferred.

Jules is clearly dedicated to making this movie as real as possible, and we're guessing there's going to be some seriously intense scenes to come.

Every shot we see gets us more amped for this edgy jailbird flick. Add Kristen's voice-over cameo to the mix and we're itching with excitement for the release of the trailer.

What's more? Although the film won't be competing in the Cannes Film Festival, there's a solid chance the movie will debut in the French Riviera. We already know Kristen's bringing her mom and BF Robert Pattinson to the esteemed festival—her latest film On the Road will be in the competition, up against her beau's Cosmopolis.

Perhaps Kristen helped Mama Stew snag a spot for a little French debut?

Gotta love how this mother-daughter duo's always there to support each other!
