Production

[edit]

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

[edit]

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]
