Production[]
Production was completed in 2018[4] on a shoestring budget without support from the Australian government,[5] with director Michael Benthem describing it as a "micro-budget ensemble drama".[2] Film Daze's Joshua Sorensen estimated, "a cursory amount of research indicates that it is unlikely to be higher than a few thousand dollars".[6]
It was shot in the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria, and its first theatrical release was at the Cameo Theatre in Belgrave, close to where filming took place.[2] Its streaming release date was 26 June 2020.[citation needed]
