Van Grinsven said the colour blue was almost entirely removed from the film; the outside scenes had no blue skies, and it was not visible in the costumes, set design and grading. He wanted to reserve it for the scene in 'The Blue Room', where the anonymous group sex party takes place. His reasoning for excluding the colour was to explore the effect it had on the audience when a certain colour is withheld and then you are suddenly immersed in it.
In an interview with The Queer Review, Van Grinsven said that many of the storylines in the film were directly based on his own coming-of-age experiences, and his film was also influenced by New Queer Cinema, and the early works of Gregg Araki and Gus Van Sant.
The film stars Conor Leach in his feature film debut.
It was filmed on location in Sydney.
The movie was the director's graduate work from Australian Film, Television and Radio School.
