While filming The Trial of The Rockstar, Myk Watford shaved his arms and hands before filming in order to put the fake tattoos on his skin. To show solidarity, the director, Austin Parsons, also shaved his arms and hands.
Pale, played by Marcus Levy, was a tattoo artist with no tattoos because of his fear of it hurting. In reality, Marcus Levy has a tattoo on his body, and he tattooed it himself.
The entire short filmed was filmed over 4 days in October 2016, and almost a half of the film was shot in a small hotel room for 12 hours, with roughly 15 people inside the room.
The music in the film was written and performed by Stumpwaller, a band in the Los Angeles area, fronted by Myk Watford, the film's lead actor.
