editThe film was a U.S.-Australian co-production. It was shot in Australia with Phillip Island substituting for Aran Island.[2] Many of the crew had worked on the TV show Homicide, but some of them had to be replaced during the shoot as it was realised they did not have the experience to make a 35mm film shot on location.[3]
