The lives of six strangers collide during a frenetic night of romance and dream chasing when a young DJ is given a chance to perform at a festival.
In July 2015, it was announced Sarah Hyland, Chris D'Elia, and Graham Phillips, had joined the cast of the film, with Dylan Meyer writing the screenplay, while Netflix will produce and distribute the film. That same month, Hayley Kiyoko and Colin Woodell joined the cast of the film, while Christopher Louie will direct the film. In June 2016, Pete Tong joined the film as a producer and music supervisor.
Sarah Hyland and Graham Phillips have confirmed that XOXO was filmed in multiple music festivals and raves.

The film currently holds a 71% approval rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, based on seven reviews, with an average rating of 5.8/10. Nick Murray, writing in The Village Voice, opined that the film "may be as predictable as an EDM song, but it too offers pleasures to those willing to give themselves over to its rhythms."
