The Dirk Diggler Story was expanded into Anderson's 1997 breakout film Boogie Nights with a number of scenes appearing almost verbatim in both films. According to Anderson, the film drew admiring laughs when it was shown at a University of Southern California film festival. Anderson worked from a shot list and wanted the actors to be serious since the characters took their work seriously. Being influenced by This is Spinal Tap at the time, he decided to do a mockumentary and used the John Holmes documentary, Exhausted, as a model for the film, even taking some dialogue almost word-for-word. Anderson raised money for the film by cleaning cages in a pet store. The film was shot in 1987 using a video camera and steadicam provided by Anderson's father (Ernie " Ghoulardi" Anderson). Anderson's father, Ernie Anderson, narrated the film and Robert Ridgely, a friend of Anderson's father, played the role of Jack Horner.
