Zac Efron in 'We Are Your Friends'

CHICAGO (WLS) -- "We Are Your friends" takes us to the world of electronic music in Hollywood. Zac Efron stars in the movie as Cole, an up and coming DJ who is hungry to find the one track that will make him rich and famous.

Efron, his co-star and the film's director just hit the red carpet in Chicago.

"There was a DJ boot camp. I had a coach and we put real decks in my house, loud speakers and I would just practice constantly. I quit my XBox and turned into a DJ," Efron said.

Efron, who grew up in California, said the film is "sort of reminiscent of living in The Valley."

Next up for Efron, he's going to be in the movie remake of the 90's TV show Baywatch.

"We Are Your Friends" hits theaters on August 28.
