Production and release
Johnny 316 made its debut at the 1998 New York Underground Film Festival. Afterwards, the film became unavailable to watch for nine years. In 2006, the film underwent additional shooting, and was finally completed. In 2007, the film re-emerged, screening at another festival.[2]
Following its second screening, the film continued to be unavailable to watch, until it surfaced on YouTube in 2012.[3] Ifergan's production company, Serial Dreamer, released a new trailer for the film in 2015, advertising it as "the hidden gem of controversial actor Vincent Gallo."[2]
Reception
Robert Kohler of Variety gave the film a moderately positive review, writing that "Erick Ifergan's Johnny 316 takes Oscar Wilde's Salome and transfers it to Hollywood Boulevard. This 'Sally' never dances, but she does meander the boulevard in a movie that similarly wanders and never finds a groove, tone or point of view. The rather inspired central idea of Gallo as a modern-day John the Baptist goes undeveloped, with a ton of pretense in its wake."[4]
