Cast

Production

The film was funded by the Creative Development Branch of the Australian Film Commission and Film Victoria and was shot over three weeks on 16mm.[1] [3]

Release

According to McKenzie the film ran for three weeks in a Melbourne cinema, got reviews and didn't make any money:

It's all about the sounds that you hear, the sounds that you replay, the various sounds that represent the different parties in the flats and how they impinge on the lead character's life. [1]
The film is a good example of the tough and thoughtful indi films made in the 80's and earlier with tiny crews and penny farthing budgets. It has been restored (by Ray Argall, the films cinematographer)
