Production[]
Cox wanted to make a film that was less autobiographical than his previous work, so brought in a co-writer, Susan Holly-Jones. Tony Llewellyn-Jones and Bernard Eddy also contributed to the shooting script.[2]
The movie was shot over three weeks on 35mm at the beginning of 1977 under the working title Two in the Family.[3] The Creative Development Branch of the Australian Film Commission invested $33,000 with the rest coming from private investment, including Cox and Llewellyn-Jones.[1][3]
Release[]
The film screened at the Sydney and Melbourne Film Festivals in June 1977 before receiving a limited release.[1]
