In an interview with 'The Brag', Soda_Jerk explained: "'Terror Nullius [2018] has haunted our studio practice for more than a decade, ever since we made a short work called 'Picnic At Wolf Creek' in 2006. That early work went some way to speculating on what might have happened to the vanished white school girls, and ends with a bus load of queers making roadkill of Mel Gibson. But we always knew there was much graver political revenge fable that we wanted to make out of Australian cinema, and have been growing that idea ever since."
