The Naked Brothers Band is an American film written and directed by Polly Draper and stars her sons, Nat Wolff and Alex Wolff, who portray members of a fictional rock group. It tells of the boys' struggles with their fame and an internal dispute that causes the band to temporarily break up. The cast keep their full names on-screen; however, Allie DiMeco portrays Nat's female interest Rosalina, the siblings' actress cousin Jesse Draper plays the group's babysitter Jesse Cook, and the siblings' jazz pianist father Michael Wolff portrays their accordion-playing dad. Draper shot the film in the... style of a mockumentary—a parody in documentary format—that depicts the daily activities of the characters. It was emboldened by Nat's genuine band, The Silver Boulders, which he created in preschool with his friends who all portray themselves in the film. Nat composed and performed the music, though one had been written by Alex. Principal photography took place in mid-2004 on location in New York City, and the vast interior scenes were filmed in the family's Manhattan apartment.
