This film is based on a true sighting by a surfing documentary crew.
The film is based around a story the Director heard whilst visiting the town of Nowhere Else, in which a group of documentary filmmakers reported that while shooting a project in the area, they were attacked by a bat the size of a human.
Since official "Nowhere Else" road signs are often stolen, the Director had to make his own in order to feature one in the film.
The name of the film "Nowhere Else" is named after the location of the same name, and the same place of which the film was set and shot. The name of the area was based off the true story of a few shepherds who got lost while searching for their hut. When they were walking over a hill, one of them said "If it's not over this hill it's nowhere else". The shepherds eventually found their hut and the name stuck. Originally, it was only the property containing the hut that was named "Nowhere Else", but the name has since spread into other parts of the area.
Although the Director (Danial Donai) has worked on dozens of feature films, this will be the first time for him as a Writer, Director or Producer.
