[4] Filming occurred in secret with an audience of Bennett's 1500 closest fans at Cinescape Studios in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois, but was shelved due to other projects he was working on at the time.
On May 21, 2016, Bennett surprised a portion of his earliest fans to a day of secret activities in celebration of the success of the project (including a giant Chance-themed carnival, choir performance, and exclusive merchandise), which concluded with a free concert at a secret hometown location, and fans’ phones were confiscated during the event to mitigate spoilers.
[6] Bennett shelved the footage as new music was imminent, and continued to produce, direct, and storyboard short-form videos of his concerts.
[5] Richard Roeper of Chicago Sun-Times awarded the film a three-point-five out of four-star rating, praising its "captivating" energy and "coolness".
[12] Carla Hay from Culture Mix described the film as "[no]thing groundbreaking in its production and staging, but... a lively showcase for Chance the Rapper and his charismatic showmanship.
