The film was 6 years in the making. Director Jon Bling had visited Vietnam for the first time in 2010 and started writing immediately. Casting was done in 2014 and production began in 2015.
It's world premiere was at VIET FILM FEST 2016 in Orange County, California. It was nominated for Best Film and won Best Actor for it's main star Tam Dinh.
Director Jon Bling self-funded the entire production by djing 35 weddings. All the couples are listed in the "special thanks"
On the day of filming the cemetery scene, Director Jon Bling forgot to give thanks to his past relatives as it was traditional. This resulted in the many paranormal activities on set such as the camera hard drive breaking down, the car engine stalling, the hotels being haunted and luggage being lost on the way back to Australia. With this in mind, Jon Bling travelled back to Vietnam to fix the situation. After that, nothing else happened.
The entire film was shot on a CANON 5DmkIII with an ATOMOS NINJA in 17 days on location in Vietnam. Additional 2 days in Melbourne. It took 6 months to edit on ADOBE Premiere CC and 3 months to do sound design at the Backlot Post.
