Zak Hilditch was born and bred in Perth and still resides in the city. He was thrilled to be able to put his home town on the big screen, in a way which hadn’t been done before. He has a long-standing love of “intelligent science fiction films, anything fromMoon to Twelve Monkeys really had profound effects on me. I guess with this film, I was thinking about my own mortality, as you do at night. Sometimes it keeps me up at night. I was thinking about natural disasters and how they sort of take people by surprise and you never see them coming, and then you’re gone in an instant.”
