Sharing details about the project, the filmmaker revealed: « When we started filming, I had no idea what we’d capture, only that Noah was determined to be honest about everything, especially the messy bits.
« He was in a strange in-between moment, caught in the collision between almost surreal fame and a quieter inner world he’d tried to keep offstage. »
Nick continued: « What we captured over the course of a year surprised me – moments that were thrilling, terrifying, [and] hilarious, often all at once. I’m so excited to partner with Netflix to invite viewers worldwide into Noah Kahan’s head as his world shifts beneath his feet. »
