Scumbag (2017)

흥미로운 사실

Scumbag is a 2017 Canadian-American film by the filmmaker Mars Roberge about Phil, a young DJ who works at a telemarketing company where his co-workers are lunatics, former convicts and junkies. The film stars Princess Frank and Debra Haden with an ensemble cast of underground legends.

Production

Scumbag was originally inspired by Roberge's thesis script, "Smog", for the undergraduate Film Production program at York University in 1995, with research dating as early as 1989. "Smog" focused mainly on the DJ aspects of Scumbag, where the main character works as a Goth music DJ in Toronto.

The casting for Scumbag was done by the director, Mars Roberge, starting in 2013 with remaining role auditions being held in 2014 at Cazt Studios in Los Angeles after placing advertisements in Backstage, Breakdown Express and Craigslist. Roberge wanted to cast actors who lived the identical parts offscreen or at least resembled the actual people who influenced the creations. This led to many non-actors being cast in roles.

The 1990s wardrobe styling was primarily done by Karmia Amarissa with the exception for a few actors from the East Coast location. Many of the actors took clothes directly from their own wardrobes.

Scumbag was self-funded Roberge after raising a low initial amount by crowdfunding through Indiegogo which is the main reason the movie took a year to shoot.

Principal photography for Scumbag began on 25 January 2015, in New York City at Nomad Editing Company's old office on 12 W. 21st St (12th floor) under Roberge's film production company, World Domination Pictures. After the first shooting day, the rest of the film was shot in Los Angeles from 12 February to 5 December 2015.
