Ennio's basement was shot on location in the real Ennio Midena's basement where he keeps all the VHS from his old video store, it was just slightly refurnished. Also, the scenes with the other collectors were shot in the apartments of some real life collectors.
Samantha Fox's single 'Hot Boy' and its music video Samantha Fox: Hot Boy (2018) were written, recorded and shot for this movie.
The lead character, Ennio Midena, is loosely based on the real Gothenburg based video collector Ennio Midena. The real Ennio Midena also has a small role in the movie as a janitor.
