All of the locations and sites used for filming the making of the movie.

High school

This is the floorplan and a few pictures of Ashland High School in Ohio. It has the desired look of a high school set in middle-America. The red brick on the outside and older, unrenovated hallways give the desired effect of being set in the 90s.

Decorations within the School

In order to transport this school back to the 90s, we will require a number of decorations to cover the hallways and lockers. These decorations will mostly come in the form of hand-painted signs and posters. Some examples are shown below.

Evan’s House

A good portion of the film will take place in Evan’s house. Evan lives in a suburban style, middle class neighborhood, which is an actual neighborhood located in Akron, Ohio. The home pictured below is the home where we plan on filming a lot of vital scenes, so it’s important that we get it right- especially in regards to Evan’s room. Evan’s room should represent the grunge era of the 90s teen in America, complete with posters on the walls and a messy bedroom.

The Diner

The diner is a quintessential location that needs to feel right. It has to have a local, community based aesthetic where groups of friends would often hang out; it also needs to be a place where people would often run into one another at school.
