This movie was "filmed entirely on-location in Murwillumbah & Cabarita Beach" in New South Wales, Australia.
Writer, Producer, and Director Belinda Chayko began writing the script while still living in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, but moved its urban setting to the country after she resettled in Murwillumbah in the countryside of the same Australian state.
For Sir John Hurt, filming in Australia was an opportunity to return to a country with which he has had long ties. He had close family members living in Australia for many years, and had enjoyed very much making The Proposition (2005) in the outback in 2005.
Securing Sir John Hurt for the lead male role of Doyle was key to the successful financing of this movie, said Producer Tony Ayres, who produced with Matchbox Pictures partners Helen Bowden and Michael McMahon.
