Production
editBurning Kiss is Robbie Studsor's debut, he watched many film noir and old detective movies while writing the script. Studsor was inspired by the idea of building a mystery in reverse, this became the movie's main plot.[3]
Before the shooting, Studsor watched featurettes and interviews with other directors, and took inspiration from cult directors such as Alfred Hitchcock and Billy Wilder. Principal photography took place in the director's home state Western Australia. Studsor ditched big city scenes because he wished to force the film's production team to be creative, utilizing the rural scenes of Western Australia to add to the film's kooky, eerie atmosphere.[3]
The producer Megan Palinkas describes the film as “a smouldering psychodrama, etched with exotica and surrealism”. Also the actor Liam Graham comments “It’s a sexy, dangerous summer noir with hints of classic cinema”.[4]
