Leading up to the documentary, HBO released a four-episode mini web series about Cole's massive 2015 year as an artist that "provide intimate access to Cole that was previously unavailable, and they deliver a nuanced look into this talented musician for fans and newcomers alike," according to Culture magazine. 

"I was just glad to be able to catch that period on film, because it was a transformational year for Cole," Lazer told Culture of the web series. "Like he went from doing the Theater at Madison Square Garden on his last tour to selling out the actual Garden in a matter of minutes. So there was clearly a different level for him on this project."
