[4] The film documents the attempted production of an unaired pilot for a reality television show titled Rock the Party.

[4] The project began production in 2003,[5] as a self-produced[6] pilot for a reality television show[7] titled Rock the Party.

[5] The pilot was funded by entrepreneur Dan Sherbondy,[2] who also hosted a late-night television show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

[6] According to director Colin Trevorrow, "It's footage of a real thing that happened, which is this guy, who is kind of a lunatic, and really just the world's biggest asshole, took a crew off of Craigslist, and a bunch of women, and told them they were on a reality show.

[2][9] In 2012, Trevorrow said the film was no longer available: "The guy it's about -- the movie is basically a documentary about how awful he is -- he actually lost a job or something over it, so he made us take it down everywhere and you can't find it anymore.
