The seed for the film has been planted ten years earlier when director Kriv Stenders made a short film called 'Two/Out' (1998). This short film was Stender's first collaboration with indigenous Australian Aboriginal actor Richard Green, also a poet and musician. At the time of casting, Green was in Long Bay Prison in New South Wales. The film went on to screen in festivals nationally and internationally and won an AFI (Australian Film Institute) Award for Best Short Film. Stenders said: "When I made 'Blacktown' with Tony Ryan (Green's co-star in 'Two/Out', I touched base with Richard. Then, because of the experience I had with 'Blacktown', I thought it would be great to make a film with Richard in a lead role."
