The film premiered at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival,[2] and was named to TIFF's annual year-end Canada's Top Ten list for 2016.[3] It was subsequently screened at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival in 2017, where it received an honorable mention from the short film jury in the Generation 14Plus program of youth films.[4]
