The film stars actors Tanika Lonesborough who portrayed a young Gail in the hit film The Sapphires alongside Lincoln Hambrick, star of Redfern Now’s second season.

Mr Lonesborough raised $1700 on crowdfunding site Indiegogo and received a further $500 from Bega Valley Shire Council in early June to help film his post-apocalyptic sibling survival short for his Sydney Film School Advanced Diploma course in Screen and Media.

On Tuesday the crew were filming in and around Gillards Beach in Mimosa Rocks National Park.
