Production

The script was written by Maria Tran in September, 2012 after several conversations with Antony Szeto and Juju Chan who were preparing for their holiday in Australia at that time. The film was shot in 5 days[4] and most of the locations were in suburb of Fairfield, with one shot from Broken Hill. A total of $4,050 USD[5] was raised in making the short film and all the 100 cast and crew volunteered their time for the project. The action sequences were choreographed by Trung Ly.

Other

Antony Szeto visited the set on day two of the shoot. This was where he discovered Trung Ly and mentioned that if he was to direct the next project, that he will be on board. That project turned into Roger Corman's "Fist of the Dragon".
