The film was inspired by such movies as Mondo Cane which Lamond deliberately copied: I borrowed a 16mm print of it and ran it on a closed circuit cinema thing and stopped and started the projector and looked at it.
I thought okay, what I need to do is shoot about fifty sequences, cut it into something coherent and pacey, and made it on the same sort of thing.
[3]Hexagon Productions invested some money in the movie but the Australian Film Development Corporation did not.
[3] The film was shot on 16mm but was blown up to 35mm in Sweden by the firm that did Ingmar Bergman's Scenes from a Marriage which cost an extra $14,000.
Lamond made twenty prints, showed it around Australia and the film was a big hit.
