Production
Shot in '99, shelved for decades—pure unfiltered Y2K paranoia preserved.
Acting
Corey Haim's final role, raw and unvarnished.
Sound
Actual period-accurate techno, not some composer's 'rave-ish' guess.
Director
François Garcia
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
François Garcia financed this with credit cards and favors from actual Toronto rave promoters—most 'actors' were real scene kids.
The film's 25-year burial mirrors its themes: youth culture devoured by time, rediscovered as archaeological curiosity.
