The film was made with financial support from Channel Nine and Universal Networks International (UNI). UNI purchased the film at the development stage purely on the basis of the storyline.[1]
The film was shot over four weeks on Goat Island and in Balmain, Sydney.[1]
"It's our passion and drive to return to these bigger and higher concept stories which tend to be shyed away from due to budget concerns,” said director Tony Tilse. "Australian telemovies need to present something good and this is a bolder concept than what has ever been done before."[1]
