This short will première at the Amsterdam World Film Festival 6 - 9 December 2020.

Nominated for Best Micro Short Film at the Southampton International Film Festival which should have run 15-18 October online. However, the festival is postponed due to CV-19. New date tbc.

This film opened the festival in February in New Zealand, followed by a nationwide tour and also across Australia. This generated some return with a share of the box office - our first production to make any money.

A selection in Greece for 2021 with a screening on 10 December.
