Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Gary Sweet was reportedly cast after director Noel Vinson saw him in a stage production where he delivered a 12-minute suicide monologue without blinking.
The film's beach location was chosen specifically for its tide schedule—shooting had to pause every six hours as the water encroached, which the actors used to inform their characters' trapped, waiting energy.
