Andrew Meyer, the film's executive producer, reflects on its origins as an independent project in Chicago. Hughes’s vision and direction played a crucial role in transforming a simple storyline into an iconic representation of adolescence.
"The Breakfast Club started out as a little independent movie in Chicago, with little-known actors and a little-known director."

"I said to John, 'Do you have anything else?' He said, 'I do, but there's a problem. I have to direct it.'"
