Production

Bill Bennett had long wanted to make a film based on the John Steinbeck story The Pearl but was unable to get the rights. Instead he decided to write a version of it set in Australia about a nugget. Bennett said the wrote it "just to have a bit of a laugh. I didn't think it would get financed. I'd been writing a lot of dark material and had a gap in my schedule so I thought it'd be nice to cleanse myself as it were. "

The film was shot in Mudgee. Eric Bana made it after Black Hawk Down.

Macquarie Film Corporation invested $2,112,800 and received $223,477 causing a write down of $1,817,800.
