At the 11th AACTA Awards the film was nominated Best Indie Film. In 2021 the film was also nominated for an Australian Directors' Guild Award (Best Direction in a Feature Film), and won the 2021 ATOM Award for Best Fiction Feature Film. Cast Geraldine Hakewill as Bek Chalmers Mark Leonard Winter as Danny Bowman Matilda Ridgway as Emily Bowman Tom Wren as Joel Chalmers Greg Stone as Steve Production Production was completed in 2018 on a shoestring budget without support from the Australian government, with director Michael Bentham describing it as a "micro-budget ensemble drama". Film Daze's Joshua Sorensen stated, "a cursory amount of research indicates that it is unlikely to be higher than a few thousand dollars".
