The group, known as the "12 O'Clock Boyz", emerged at illegal street rides by the start of the 21st century, and two members videotaped the stunts in 2001 and 2003.[2] For the documentary the boy, Pug, was filmed over several years starting when he was 11, using a high-speed Phantom camera, whose footage was slowed, as well as a Canon 7G, with the crew strapped into the bed of a truck. Nathan, the director, was arrested once on suspicion of participation in the rides. The film also includes interviews with members of the group as well as Pug's mother, Coco,[1] plus footage from a variety of local newscasts and clips from the 12 O'Clock Boyz videos.[citation needed]
The film was premiered at South by Southwest 2013,[3] and had its Baltimore premiere at the Maryland Film Festival 2013.[4] It was acquired for U.S. theatrical distribution by Oscilloscope Laboratories in 2013.[5]
