Production
The film was based on a script by Jackie McKimmie originally called Duet which she wrote as a feature but then sold to producers who made it as a telemovie. She later said "I was on the set every day. The producers were very happy to have me involved in all aspects of the production so right from pre-production through to post-production I was there nearly every day. I picked up a lot just from being there - a lot of things went wrong so that meant a better chance to learn than if everything went really smoothly."[1]
Production
The film was shot on location on Moreton Island in Queensland.[2]
