Production Notes
Principal photography for Simple Love took place on June 6 and 7, 2022. The film was shot in diverse locations across Los Santos, including Bahama Mama's, LSIA, LSBN, the Vespucci Canals, and Maldini's.

Camera operation included the use of traditional handheld cameras in addition to new drone photography technology necessary to achieve tracked and vehicle-mounted shots within the city.

Re-shoots, audio capture, and additional photography necessary to execute certain scenes took place through June 13, largely directed by the editing team.

Premiere and Critical Reception


The "Simple Love" movie premiere took place on June 16, 2022 at the LSBN Cinema. Hubcap Jones performed in the pre-show.

Several moviegoers were very engaged in live-twatting the premiere, with significant interest in the fate of the character "Taco Man".

Mayor Mickey S posted his review on Twatter after the show: "11/10 MOVIE".

In the LSBN movie review, critic Joey Valentine wrote: "Although it suffers from the occasional pacing 'issue,' Simple Love (2022) does a fantastic job of subverting the romantic comedy genre, accurately portraying its tropes while not taking itself too seriously."

Sequel
Off the Record Productions finished filming "Simple Love 2", with Sooty Gamwich reprising her role as Wanda Winkel; and Charlotte Greene playing the antagonist--but the movie was never released. Ethyl Winkelfiddle claimed the sequel was about parasitic worms and originally wanted the film title to reflect that premise. A teaser for "Simple Love 2" can be seen in the coming attractions from the Massacre at Burn Island movie.
