It debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 1991 before a New Zealand theatre release in 1992 with a premiere in Wellington on the 25th of February. Script develpoment began after Mune approached Mason in 1976 but was unable to get financing. After Mason died in 1982 the script was shelved.
