Kieran O'Sullivan joined the production a mere week prior to the re-shoot.
The screenplay's location was originally a video store then changed to a cinema foyer before finally becoming a living room.
The two lead characters in the first few drafts had an employee/annoying customer relationship, with the shift in location setting came the change in dynamic between the leads.
The posters lining the living room walls are Australian Daybills, posters that were produced exclusively for the original Australian release of films.
The film was originally shot at The Astor Theatre but due to technical difficulties it had to be re-shot, unfortunately budget and time constraints prevented the production from re-shooting at that location. A brief snippet of footage can be seen on the VHS tape prior to the feature 'A Cut Above'.
The Matthew Modine film 'A Cut Above' referenced in the dialogue of the short is actually Gross Anatomy (1989). 'A Cut Above' was it's original Australian video release title.
