Trivia

This was South African director David van Eyssen's only feature film; he pivoted to commercials after this vanished without trace.

Cultural

Released in 2005, it rode the coattails of Primer (2004) and Deja Vu (2006), but with roughly 1/1000th the budget and 0% of the coherence. Sean Astin filmed this during his Lord of the Rings postpartum depression era.
