Also, as the first commercial, color feature film to be filmed and shot in Spain by a Filipino company (with ties to the Jesuit organization in the Philippines), it was also shot in English--which is NOT the native tongue of either the Philippines or Spain; but of the 2nd colonizer of the Philippines, the USA. (Note: the Jesuit operation in the Philippines is governed by the New York province of the Jesuit order).
This is the first Filipino-produced film to be screened in the Vatican.
First crowd-funded feature film to be produced by an ex-colony of Spain, the Philippines, in the mother country, Spain, about an indigenously Spanish figure, Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order. Front-of-the-camera talent is Spanish; but behind-the-camera talents (the producers, writers, designers) are mostly Filipino.
