Filming

Principal photography began in September 2010 in the Northern Rivers, and wrapped in late October 2010.

Release

The film was well received by international distributors and sales agents but due to the subject matter it received mixed reviews. A worldwide release was planned with Arclight Films in 2011 but at the eleventh hour the deal fell apart after Mark Lindsay (president, sales and acquisitions) left the company. The film was subsequently released internationally on DVD and Pay TV through Lightning Entertainment in 2011.
