The film was shot on location in Styria, Austria, the town where part of 'The Sound of Music' was filmed.

EXCLUSIVE: Firebook Entertainment has acquired world sales and distribution rights to Dirty Boy, the debut feature from British actor-turned filmmaker Doug Rao. Also starring are Susie Porter ( Wentworth, Gold), Stan Steinbichler ( Zero Chill, Netflix), Honor Gillies ( The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes), and Alice Lucy ( Mad Heidi). “With Dirty Boy, I wanted to overrun the idyllic location of The Sound of Music with some warped humour, a seriously malevolent cult and some filthy deviance – you’ll never see those green hills the same way again,” Rao said in a statement.
