The first issue which was raised by Media ownership is that if you are a British institution then it is likely

you are Poorly Organised. This is because it is largely compromised by small independent producers. Secondly as the US has taken over 85-90% of the English cinema market, it is harder for the UK to have a chance of becoming more successful and powerful in the industry. As the US film industry is becoming bigger and richer, the English directors are running over there to ask them for help by giving them money so they are more likely to get their film in the cinema. However the more English directors that go over to US, the less money that the UK film industry will get. Consequently the argument is that it is the only chance for the English directors to get their film in the cinema. So it is vicious cycle. The company that produced the film was Sea Saw films founded in 2008 by Emilie Sherman and Iain canning, it operated out of both Sydney and London.

The co-producer for this film was a man called Ian canning who decided to keep the project independent.
