PRODUCTION NOTES

▸ Production

It was announced in August 2022 that Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck would be writing and directing the film, which is based on Fleck's memories of growing up in Oakland, California in the 1980s (and is a celebration of the city's culture). Oakland musician Too Short and his talent manager David Weintraub served as executive producers. In November, Pedro Pascal, Ben Mendelsohn and Jay Ellis were among the cast announced for the film, which also included multiple notable figures from the Oakland area. Ji-young Yoo would join the cast the following month.

Filming began on November 14, 2022, with production taking place on Telegraph Avenue between 17th and 18th Streets. Restaurant and business owners complained that they had not received prior notice from the film crew or the city, with blocked street access causing a decrease in foot traffic and financial losses of up to $30,000. Oakland's communications director claimed that the film's location manager had posted flyers in the area and spoken to affected businesses directly.
