All of the music performed by the band is played live by the actors on screen.
Premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. All the audience attending were given Frank masks to wear.
The scene in which Frank chases Jon whilst trying to hit him with a shovel and yelling "It'll be worth it!" was improvised by Michael Fassbender. Frank was actually just supposed to be running around, not involving Jon in any way.
Troubled musician Daniel Johnston was one of the influences on the film.
Frank is based on late British comedian Chris Sievey's iconic comedy character Frank Sidebottom.
"Frank: [singing] Stale beer. Fat fucked, smoked out. Cowpoked. Sequined mountain ladies. I love your wall. Put your arms around me. Fiddly digits, itchy britches. I love you all."
"Jon Burroughs: Can I ask you something? Frank: Sure. Jon Burroughs: Why do you wear that? Frank: ...do you think it's weird? Jon Burroughs: Kinda. Frank: Well, normal faces are weird, too. You know, the way they're smooth... smooth... smooth... and blech! You know? All bumpy and holes, I mean, what are eyes like? It's like a science fiction movie. Don't get me started on lips. Like the edges of a severe wound. Jon Burroughs: That's true. But your head is still sort of intimidating. Frank: Well, underneath it I'm giving you a welcoming smile. Would it help if I said my facial expressions out loud? Jon Burroughs: Well... maybe. Frank: Welcoming smile."
