While studying music production and engineering at the London School of Audio, Lord lived as a squatter in a room where the heat was operated by an electricity meter that ran on 50-pence coins.

Like black tracker Moodoo (powerfully played by David Gulpilil), he sees things in the desert that others can't: sources of Aboriginal dreaming in the color-saturated opening scenes, to ghostly presences in bleached-out hues as the girls struggle to survive in the desert heat. Here they become dots in a more timeless, mythological canvas. "There's no question that the landscape made the film," says Doyle.
