Did you know

• The concert sequences were actually real parties at which Zack Fox, who plays the role of Swett, and others were DJing. When the parties reached full capacity, Fox would tell the crowd who was already there that his friend was filming a movie, and to just go crazy and be themselves. Archie Madekwe would then run out on stage and perform to the crowd while the crew filmed everything. Madekwe would also do an outfit change after every song. It took a total of 7 minutes for all the concert footage in the movie to be filmed.

• During filming, Baz Luhrmann advised writer and director Alex Russell, when screening the rough cut, to listen to everyone else's opinions, hear them out, and then go into a corner and listen to yourself. Luhrmann actually wrote this suggestion in Russell's production notebook.

• Alex Russell's feature film directorial and screenwriting debut.
