Did you know
• This film was based on an original work by Peter Hubbard.
• Music composers Steven Arnold and Graham Tardif, after reading the script and discussing all aspects of the film with writer-director Rolf de Heer, and viewing the rough cut, the two musicians set to work in a small studio in Arnold's parents' house in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia - creating the music to the final cut of the film. The result was a rich score that both interpreted and enhanced the many levels of the film.
• This Australian feature film has only ever been released on DVD as part of a "Rolf de Heer Collection" DVD box set and has never been video released individually in Australia since its VHS home video release on Roadshow Home Video during the mid-1980s.
