J.L. Carrozza first met and interviewed Tun-Fei Mou in 2008. Mou was visiting Boston, Massachusetts, where Carrozza resided, because his wife was giving a lecture at a university. At time Carrozza was unsure if he was going to use the interview footage for much other than a magazine article and the interview footage from that session was sadly hampered by background noise. Carrozza decided to do a much longer interview with Mou the following year which became this current film.
Like Carrozza's shorts Little Red Riding Hood (2009) and Dream House (2009), this documentary was produced on a very low budget (about $1500) and Carrozza has not left Massachusetts for its production though he may visit Hong Kong and Taiwan for some additional film materials for the final version including Mou's first two Taiwanese films.
