Interesting facts

It premiered at the Audi Dublin International Film Festival in February and was released in the UK and Ireland on 16 June of the same year.

Production

Director and co-writer Dennis Bartok was inspired by a news story he read. A male patient, after becoming paralyzed in a hit-and-run accident, had cameras installed in his hospital room, which captured evidence of someone tampering with his ventilator. Bartok did a gender swap and made the protagonist a track coach as a tribute to a friend who was murdered shortly after the first draft was written.
