SLC Punk! - Production Notes

Production Notes

The film was shot in an aggressive, highly kinetic style, with sweeping crane shots, fast dolly moves, and jump cuts.

Most of the film was shot on location in Salt Lake City, with a scene taking place in Evanston, Wyoming. Numerous scenes took place in locally well-known areas:

• The high school, which Heroin Bob calls "Southeast High", is West High School near downtown Salt Lake City.
• The scene wherein Heroin Bob chastises Stevo for using acid takes place at Presidents Circle at the University of Utah.
• Stevo introduces the "poseurs" and gives his "Who Started Punk Rock?" speech at the Crossroads mall.
• Stevo and Sandy drop acid at Memory Grove Park, a World War I memorial park.
• Many exterior street scenes occur just north of the Frank E. Moss Federal Courthouse in the downtown area.
• The ECP concert was shot at the SLC Indian Center.
• The scenes depicting Heroin Bob's funeral were shot inside and outside The Cathedral of the Madeleine. The cathedral is located just east of downtown Salt Lake City.
• The apartment where Stevo and Heroin Bob live was the Big D Construction building, across from Pioneer Park.
• The store where they bought the "Wyoming Beer" is 'Porter's Fireworks and Liquor' on the outskirts of Evanston.
