The film was made for The Hayward Gallery's 'Spellbound' exhibition, which which opened 100 years to the day (21 February 1896) the Lumiere Brothers brought their newly invented cinematograph to a London audience.
The film has had very limited distribution, having only been seen at this exhibition, and once on network television in the UK at the non viewer-friendly time of 23:50 on 30th November 1996
The alternate title "Is Mr Death In?" is an anagram of writer/director Damien Hirst.
