흥미로운 사실

Spice It Up is a 2018 Canadian independent film directed by Lev Lewis, Yonah Lewis and Calvin Thomas. It stars Jennifer Hardy CK as a young film student attempting to finish her thesis project. The film-within-the-film tells the story of a group of teenage girls who fail high school and enlist in the army.

Production

Principal photography began in Toronto on June 22, 2013, and was completed almost five years later on May 6, 2018.

The nested film was shot first and, at that time, intended to be its own standalone narrative, but after several years of editing and re-editing, the directors felt something was missing. They brought on a second set of actors and shot a framework story that re-contextualized the original film.

The original production was inspired by dance films like Bring It On (2000) and Step Up (2006), as well as Brian De Palma's early essay films. The directors hoped to mix the two contrasting genres and create something wildly different from their previous effort, The Oxbow Cure, an austere and nearly-wordless film focused on a single protagonist. The film-within-a-film footage was shot on two GoPro cameras.
