Production
This was the first movie from the Soviet Union, which was formed in early 1911 with the financial backing of a draper, doctor and squatter from Goulburn. Their low-budget films were directed by George Young and their technical department was run by Jack Wainwright and Lacey Percival. The company ran out of a small studio and laboratory in North Sydney but did not last long due to poor financial returns for their movies.[1]
