This film will have its Philippine premiere during the 11th Cinemanila International Film Festival at Taguig City beginning from the second week of October 2009.
Filmmaker Christopher Gozum, a Pangasinan native hailing from Bayambang, finished part of postproduction work for this film in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he works as a videographer. Gozum's last work, "Surreal Random MMS Texts for a Mother, a Sister, and a Wife who longs for You: Landscape with Figures" (2008), filmed almost entirely with a Nokia cellular phone, was produced during his first year abroad as a Philippine migrant worker in Riyadh. This too displayed Gozum's poetic penchant, basing the narrative on Carlos Bulosan's “Landscape with Figures,” one of the poems from Letter from America (1942), which detailed Bulosan's own biographical situation as a migrant Filipino in America.
