Because of the tight budget, this film was entirely shot during the director's Christmas holiday in Hong Kong in 2004.
This film almost didn't get made as "Long Hair" gave the director the wrong contact phone number (or it is also possible that the director simply wrote a wrong number) for Long Hair's assistant to arrange the first meeting.
In 2009, Long Hair Revolution, director/producer Kempton Lam's first documentary, was added to the federal government Library and Archives Canada permanent collection in Ottawa.
