Masaya si Jim Paredes sa ideya nang ibalita sa kanya ni Tony Gloria, ang CEO ng Unitel Productions, na magpo-produce siya ng pelikulang naka-base ang kwento sa ilang awitin ng APO Hiking Society.

Ang manunulat at direktor ng pelikulang I Doo Bi Do, Bi Doo ay si Chris Martinez, ang direktor na nasa likod ng award-winning independent film na Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank.

Nakapanayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at ilang piling entertainment press si Jim noong Disyembre 15, 2011 sa story conference ng naturang pelikula sa studio ng Unitel Productions sa Pablo Ocampo Extension, corner Zapote St., Makati City.

Hiniling nga mga producers na ipagpaliban muna ang pagsusulat ng artikulo tungkol sa pelikulang ito, kaya ngayon lamang ito nailathala.

Una'y akala ng batikang songwriter, aktor, at kolumnista na gagawa lamang siya ng theme song para sa isang pelikula.

Ngunit iba pala ang pakay ng producer sa kanya.

Kuwento niya, "Well, Tony Gloria called me and he said he wants to discuss a project with me. So, I probably thought that I'll write a theme song or something.

"Then he told me that he wanted to make a movie that was based on APO music, the whole story will revolve around our songs.

"I got so excited, [it was] a year and a half ago, it took so long and then we didn't talk na then he showed me the script.

"I apparently talked to several script writers and they came up with different themes and stories, and he sent me the one he has chosen. I stayed up until three in the morning reading it and really relishing the scenes 'no.

"I thought it's so delightful, parang doon ko nakita na ano, I mean, from just a music person pwede pa lang gawing narrative at story 'yong mga kanta namin."

REVIVING APO. Matatandaan na noong 2010 ay naganap ang farewell concert ng APO na pinamagatang Paalam nAPO: The APO Farewell Concert Series sa Music Museum.

Ang concert na ito ang nagmarka ng "retirement" ng kanilang grupo sa OPM industry, at naging simula para bigyang pansin nila ang iba pa nilang interes sa buhay.

Masaya si Jim na sa pamamagitan ng pelikulang I Do Bi Doo, Bi Doo ay muling mananariwa sa mga tao ang makulay nilang mga awitin.

Kung ang mga kantang gagamitin sa pelikula naman ang pag-uusapan, noong una'y gusto raw ni Jim na siya ang maging musical consultant ng pelikula dahil siya rin naman ang nagsulat ng karamihan ng mga kanta.
