Production

Producer Rosa Colosimo had been trying to raise finance for a film Blowing Hot and Cold and had found an investor who was willing to give her $100,000 provided the money was spent by the end of the financial year. This was April and Colosimo had until 30 June she was unlikely to be able to raise funds for Blowing Hot and Cold so she wrote a new script with an old friend of hers, Barbara Boyd-Anderson and raised some more money.
