Many of the people that Slaine Kelly interacts with on the crowded street were not actors and did not know a film was being shot.
The film was written after the birth of director Michael McCudden's first child, with the intention of leaving something behind that showed his daughter a little of how he sees the world. The project's origins are in random super 8 home movies, whose content force a viewer to layer their own perception onto the images. Initially an experimental found footage film, it was decided the film should utilize the Irish scenery and marry it with a European narrative style.
Shot in 17 days.
Following the completion of Sodium Party and owing to a particularly successful working relationship, producers Alison Scarff and Richard Waters joined star Slaine Kelly as producer and director respectively on the romantic comedy The O'Briens (2013).
