They interviewed Michael C. Gross, Peter Bernstein, Ray Parker, Jr., Michael Ensign, Robert M.

After ending up with an aggressive cab driver, they interviewed Weaver.[10][11][12]

On June 8, 2016, the Buenos were one week into their USA trip conducting interviews. They planned to interview cinematographer Michael Chapman the next day.[21] They went to the firehouse used in Los Angeles for filming in the movie but learned it was deemed unsafe for entry. Sam Cicchirillo of Hollywood Expendables, Burbank, provided them a location to film. The South Land Ghostbusters fan group supplied them a mid-construction Containment Unit and along with original props donated by Richard Edlund, John Bruno, Stuart Ziff, and Mark Bryan Wilson, the Buenos went forward with filming the documentary's intro sequence.[22]
On August 23, 2016, it was announced all the final interviews the Buenos wanted, except for with Bill Murray, were conducted. They are aiming for a picture lock by the end of October.[23]
On October 31, 2016, it was revealed work is still on editing the Ghostbusters II section. The target end date was end of November/beginning of December but it was partly contingent on distribution deals which wouldn't be known until editing was done. More convention appearances are being planned.[24]
Split Into Two Part Release[]
On November 21, 2016, it was announced the documentary was going to be split into 2 parts. Part 1 will cover Ghostbusters and Part 2 will cover Ghostbusters II. The release date would not be affected but screenings may be different dates.[25]

On June 8, 2017, the Buenos confirmed they were able to meet up with Ernie Hudson, Dan Aykroyd, and the Ghostbusters fans attending Collectormania in Birmingham and a Crystal Head Vodka event at Covent Garden. Part 1 only has 30 minutes of the edit left to add motion graphics to. The runtime for Part 1 will be over 2 hours long and they are nearing picture lock. After some final tweaks, it will be sent it off to J-Mi & Midi-D Productions for the musical polish.[29]
On August 26, 2017, the Buenos replied they were focusing on finishing Part 1 and the motion graphics are a very time consuming process.[30]
On December 9, 2017, it was announced production has completed a full rough cut with motion graphics and temporary score of the longer version, which currently clocks in at 3 hours. The next steps are to polish with a grade, J-Mi and Mid-D Productions need to clean the audio and lay the proper score down, the Buenos need to cut it down to the 90 minute version for screenings, and once both versions are complete, the Buenos will then be able to talk to distributors and get a clear idea on the release.[31]
On March 7, 2018, it was announced the rough cut of the shorter version was done and it currently runs at 1 hour 55 minutes. The next step is to refine and lay down final score. Work on the 3 hour version of Part 1 also continues.[32]
On June 8, 2018, the edit was locked and work with J-Mi and Midi-D Productions on the audio mix, sound design, and final score was in progress. The edit still needed some final revisions and motion graphics applied. The Buenos showed what they had to a few industry friends, and decided on some other changes that needed to be made. It was in essentially the final stretch. They are currently in discussions with a distributor so a release date and details will be revealed "very, very, very soon." The Buenos prefer to have both done before the release of Cleanin' Up The Town, but it's still too early for them to say at this point. All contributions to the Kickstarter campaign would be honored.[33]
On August 6, 2018, it was revealed Part 1 just needs audio work and grad done. The edit of the doc, the intro, and outro were all completed.[34]
On September 19, 2018, the intro for Part 1 was done, audio work continues then film will be locked and evaluated for film license. Part 1 will release in June 2019.[35]
On November 18, 2018, it was revealed the complicated graphics were done with a little refining here and there to go.[36]
On April 7, 2019, it was revealed production was in the final stretch. The grade and sound are being completed now and it's the last things to do. Edit and graphics had to be completed first then grade and sound. Birmingham City University was employed to complete the grade, mastering of picture and sound professionally.[37]
On August 3, 2019, it was noted the past few months were spent on dealing with the legalities surrounding the documentary and they are almost dealt with. After that, the release dates and future plans will be announced in the coming weeks.[38]

On January 28, 2021, part two of the interview was released. At the 30:23 minute mark, the Buenos revealed Ray Parker, Jr. wouldn't give them the license to use the Ghostbusters song because he thought it would conflict with his own documentary.

Page reads: "In 2012 the four year long awaited interview with the man himself, Dan Aykroyd. WIth his interviews in the bag, we could truly dive into the edit. The very first assembly took 18 months and was five hours long! This needed a lot of refining, but could not be fully worked out until we completed the interviews including Bill Murray which we continued to pursue until we finally locked the film."

A retainer and additional private funding got us over the finishing line."

- ↑ Making of Booklet (2019). Cleanin' Up The Town: Remembering Ghostbusters (2019) (Booklet p.11). Bueno Productions. Page reads: "We instantly booked flights for June 2016, our grand plan was to shoot the intro sequence in the interior of the LA firehouse; however upon arrival to the US, the City deemed the building unsafe for entry, so we rapidly had to find an alternative solution to warrant our trip. Thankfully with original props donated by Richard Edlund, John Bruno, Stuart Ziff, Mark Bryan Wilson, plus a mid-construction Containment Unit supplied by the South Land Ghostbusters and location provided by Sam Cicchirillo of Hollywood Expendables, Burbank, we were able to create a truly unique intro. So all that was left for us to do was return to the UK and complete the edit...or so we thought!"
