According to director Justin Kurzel, Texan actor Caleb Landry Jones worked on his Australian accent while in quarantine after arriving in the country, by watching re-runs of 1990s episodes of Hey Hey It's Saturday (1971), Neighbours (1985) and Home and Away (1988).
The lead character and title of the film "Nitram" is "Martin" spelled backwards. Martin Bryant is the name of the actual shooter in the Port Arthur massacre.
Screen Tasmania refused to fund the film and Tasmania's premier expressed concern. The film was only released in three cinemas in Hobart however the State Cinema refused to advertise the movie.
Martin Bryant's mental age was estimated to be that of an 11 year old, with an IQ of 66.
Selected for the main competition at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.
"Mum: [from the trailer] He [Nitram] Mum: was laughing at my pain... laughing like it was the funniest thing in the world"
"[Spoilers] Nitram: Why didn't you cry? Mum: What? Nitram: When the police found him, you didn't cry. How come? Mum: Just because I don't cry doesn't mean I'm not hurting. Mum: What about you. Why didn't you cry? Mum: Do you even miss him? Nitram: No. Mum: He really loved you. Nitram: Not enough to stick around, though. Mum: Yeah, he was so unwell. Nitram: So? Nitram: Everyone else feels shitty all the time, walks around feeling fucking sad. Why couldn't he? Mum: I don't know Nitram: If anyone should have walked into that dam, it was me. I'm the one no-one listens to. I'm the retard. Mum: Oh, don't say that. Nitram: You and dad would always argue about it, wouldn't you? Mum: No, we didn't. Nitram: Slow means the same thing, mum. You're not different than all them kids who call me Nitram at school. Mum: Well... that's not true. I'm your mother. Nitram: No. Mum: Yes, I gave birth to you. Nitram: Sometimes I watch myself. But I don't know who- who it is that I'm looking at. Like... I can't get to him. If I could- I could just change him so that he was like everyone else, but I don't know how. So instead, I'm- I'm here. Stuck here... like this. Eating this shit. Talking to you all because I'm not a coward like him. Mum: I really- I don't- understand what you're... talking about. Nitram: It doesn't matter, mum. Neither do I."
