Production

Blue Hill Avenue was filmed in the Canadian city of Saint John, New Brunswick because, as described by Ross, "it looked like an Eastern town." Buildings used as filming locations within the city include the St. Joseph's Hospital and the Saint John High School. Myquan Jackson (January 9, 1970 – October 23, 2023), who played Wren in the film, wrote five songs for the film's soundtrack.
