Production
Antony Bowman (husband of Jeanie Drynan) approached the four main actors and the heads of department of the crew, maintaining that he could raise enough money to make the film if each of them became a producer, working for expenses only, taking equal points in the project, to which they agreed. He raised money from investors to film the movie then take it to fine cut. The Australian Film Commission provided investment to complete the film.[3]
Bowman based the script on the lives of actors he knew.[4]
