    • Production

    Preproduction began at least one year before principal photography, as producers and actors interviewed "police officers, addicts, ex-addicts, hospice workers, parole officers, psychiatrists, and councillors" about the attraction and effects of the drug crystal methamphetamine.

    The film was then shot over a one-year period, with actors delivering most of their dialogue as improvisation.

    Completion financing was secured from Telefilm Canada in 2010, and the final version was completed in January 2011.

    Premieres

    Film drafts were screened to critical acclaim at the Cinefest Sudbury International Film Festival on September 17, 2008, The Beverly Hills International Film Festival on April 1, 2009, and the Rendezvous with Madness Film Festival (Toronto) on November 10, 2011. Its first major release was its premiere on the Super Channel on February 16, 2012, and was broadcast in rotation until April 15, 2012. It was available on Super Channel's digital demand.
