Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Joseph Sims-Dennett shot this in 12 days on a shoestring budget around Sydney's western suburbs, using locations he knew from growing up.
This belongs to a wave of 2000s Australian 'underclass' cinema—think Animal Kingdom's uglier cousin—that exported suburban misery as national identity.
