Cast

Production

Filming took place over eighteen days in 2009 - sixteen in Hobart, Tasmania, plus two in Ottawa, Canada for scenes with Bruce Davison. [4] Post production work was done in Canada. [5]

Trenchard-Smith later wrote "it was a challenge to make what looks like a bank of thick morning fog feel scary." [2]

Reception

According to Trenchard-Smith "I’m quite proud of the film. It’s a strong example of its micro-genre, and I had a good time making it." [2]
