The entire cast of the film totaled to just five cast members.
The film was nominated for 1 AFI (Australian Film Institute) Award in 1995 for Best Achievement in Cinematography for cinematographer Tony Clark but lost out to Ellery Ryan for 'Angel Baby' (1995).
Even though the movie is telling us we need to clean up the environment, the old lady that is narrating the story, is burning wood in a camp fire. :(
One of only three Rolf de Heer directed theatrical feature films that can be genre classified in the science fiction genre. They are 'Incident at Raven's Gate' (1988), 'Epsilon (aka 'Alien Visitor') (1997), and 'Dr. Plonk' (2007) - the latter because of its time machine and time travel story elements. Each of the three unrelated movies were made about a decade apart in around ten year increments.
About at least half a dozen personnel worked on both of director Rolf de Heer's two major colour science fiction movies - 'Epsilon (aka 'Alien Visitor') (1997) and 'Incident at Raven's Gate' (1988). They were de Heer, composer Graham Tardif, editor Tania Nehme, visual effects artist Roger Cowland, and Pete Smith & John Simpson in the sound department.
