The Still Point (film)

Production

Producer Rosa Colosimo has been trying to raise finance for a film Blowing Hot and Cold and had found an investor who was willing to give her $100,000 provided the money was spent by the end of the financial year. This was April and Colosimo had until 30 June she was unlikely to be able to raise funds for Blowing Hot and Cold so she wrote a new script with an old friend of hers, Barbara Boyd-Anderson and raised some more money. The first draft was written in three days, with two more drafts the following week.

The movie was shot in Melbourne on 16mm.

Reception

Colosimo distributed the film herself, which performed well in Canberra but poorly in Sydney and Melbourne.
