During an interview with comedian Gilbert Gottfried at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival, director Barry Levinson recounted that he first became involved with show business reluctantly accompanying his friend George to an acting class in 1968. As Levinson became more and more interested in the class, his friend's interest waned and the two eventually lost touch when Levinson relocated to be closer to the film and television industry. Although he was aware that George was selling marijuana at the time, Levinson had no idea what became of his friend until he saw this film and learned that he became the largest cocaine dealer in America. The two reconnected following Jung's 2015 release from prison, when Jung recounted watching Levinson at the Oscars during his incarceration.
