Production
Landfall was largely shot in and around one location, a rented beachfront home in Innisfail, Queensland. Principal photography took place over four weeks in two two-week blocks, with the first block based on Vernon Wells' schedule and the second block used to film scenes not requiring Wells. All cyclone sequences and weather effects were a mix of practical effects and CGI special effects. Physical debris was thrown at actors during shots, with CGI used to depict the cyclone itself.[2] The film was partly financed via a Regional Arts Fund grant and partly crowdfunded.[3]
Release
MultiVisionnaire Pictures acquired rest-of-world distribution rights for the film and released it globally on various streaming platforms in 2020. A special edition region 1 DVD with director's commentary and other special features was released in North America in March 2020.
