 * comment actually now I think about I could have nominated for speedy deletion or prodded it rather than bringing it here. But now its here I may as well leave it here unless anyone else agrees with a speedy delete. Tknifton (talk) 20:06, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for drawing to my attention Lugnuts... I've added a few more references. This was a minor work I feel but still had a life... but over to other editors to see what they think...

 * Keep the film has won a couple of awards, at the San Diego Film Festival and the St. Kilda Film Festival, with some coverage here and to verify that.  - do you have any more info? Thanks.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 07:19, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete: The references listed by Shellwood are a single sentence description of the plot (which is, frankly, a better plot summary than is currently in the article) and half an explanation of the film on an Australian government website. Both do mention the awards. It won 2 awards, but I am unconvinced that there are more sources than those 2. My efforts to find more sources on google do not give any reliable, independent, results. I haven't found anything from the two film festivals that gave awards, so those might be decent sources. Of the sources in the article itself, none rise to significant.

 * Weak Delete: A ProQuest search of Australia and NZ newspaper articles only resulted in 2 articles, one of which was the obituary for the film's director and I have added it to the page (the second reference was trivial). I would be inclined to delete it but don't hold a strong view. Cabrils (talk) 00:52, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. The film has significant coverage (an in-depth analysis) in That in conjunction with the other added references and award wins is sufficient to meet WP:SIGCOV.4meter4 (talk) 02:55, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
