Funding
The production was halted when Life Begins Film Ltd, ran out of funding before filming was completed. The Administrators, 'ReSolve Advisory',[5] later sold all rights, materials and equipment relating to full-length feature film, after a corporate restructure of the team following advice from Penningtons Manches Cooper in 2022.[6] The acquisition of the movie by Heracles Productions Limited, would mean production could continue to complete the film for release sometime in 2023.[6]
