Timothy David Mitchell originally recorded Katie Cantwell singing the hymn 'Great Is Thy Faithfulness' for the soundtrack. Unfortunately, the export didn't work and Mitchell forgot to save the recording, effectively loosing 2 hours worth of work. Mitchell went back and re-recorded the track himself; the vocals heard on the soundtrack are his.
For his film school graduation project, Timothy David Mitchell originally pitched a 182 paged screenplay for a feature film. He was told he couldn't do it because it would be impossible to pull off a feature film in a single trimester (3 month period). Mitchell eventually came up with this idea and 3 months later came back with a film running close to an hour (almost 6 times the running length of his other classmates' graduation films).
The crew never tested their special effect rigs before shooting. The shots seen in the film are usually the first attempts, which often went wrong somehow. To cover these mistakes, special effects creator Jadon Dutra would fix up the mistake and Timothy David Mitchell would reshoot a gorier result, cutting them together to create the shot.
