The film has won a number of awards at various film festivals throughout the world. Despite this there is very little information about the film available. It had a "low-ish" budget, and was shot in England in Portsmouth, Southsea, and Kingston prison.
The film features a soundtrack composed by Roger Taylor. According to reviews and interviews, it as an atmospheric soundtrack, which adds tension to the film, rather than being individual songs. The start of the film features a track titled 'Moon Runners', by his daughter Lola and son Felix, but it is unclear whether Roger had any involvement in this song. The end of the film features the track 'Quality Street' which appears on Roger's 2013 album 'Fun On Earth', although it may be a different version.
At current, neither the film nor the soundtrack have been released, and there are no clips available online.
Roger was also one of the executive producers of the film, alongside his wife Sarina, who stars in it. It also features his son Felix, and Brian May's wife, Anita Dobson.
