The film stars Angus Macfadyen, Ray Bumatai, Carlotta Chang and Chris Tashima. It was the first film from Coppola's and Wayne Wang's Chrome Dragon Films, a short-lived film company that was to specialize in utilizing Asian talent on American-financed projects. Set in Hawaii, the film was shot in Hilo, Hawaii and in China, in Hainan and Shanghai.
It screened at the San Sebastian Film Festival and the Hawaii International Film Festival (as Lani Loa: The Heavenly Passage) and has been released in Asia on VCD, as Lani-Loa (Hawaiian Ghost Story).
