In traditional Chinese philosophy, there has always been a concept of the unity of heaven and humanity, and the correspondence between heaven and humanity. This means they don’t view problems in isolation. They believe that issues in reality, in society, and in life are all related to the heavens, earth, nature, the universe, and even to other dimensions.
All the scenes were filmed and produced in Toronto. The Chinese backgrounds and architecture you see were constructed by the art department. New Realm Studio has a team of talented artists.
