Release
According to McKenzie the film ran for three weeks in a Melbourne cinema, got reviews and didn't make any money:
I've got mixed feelings about that film. I think probably my biggest disappointment with it is that we never had any money to do a soundtrack properly. That particular film should live on the soundtrack. It's all about the sounds that you hear, the sounds that you replay, the various sounds that represent the different parties in the flats and how they impinge on the lead character's life. It never worked particularly well. We never really had the time or the resources to do it.
