Production
Teh originally wrote the screenplay for what would become Dayang in 2016, prior to his first theatrical writing credit, but was unable to sell the script to any interested parties. Following the success of Studio Hanabi produced Kita Yang Kekal and Os Ingovernáveis, projects which Teh wrote and Jati directed, the studio expressed interest in a third project from the duo. Whilst initially conceived as a Bahasa Subag language film, owing to Teh's own heritage, Jati convinced Teh that the themes of familial obligation and urban-rural divide were applicable to Penduk as a whole, and the setting was changed as to allow for the film to be produced in Pelangi. This final draft went into pre-production in late 2021, with filming commencing in February of 2022. Much of the main cast had previously worked with Teh and Jati in Os Ingovernáveis, with the remainder of the casting process finalised by December 2021.
Filming took place on location in the village of Pelbuma in the Gelamutam Governorate, with production making use of locals as both extras and in behind-camera roles. Filming wrapped in July 2022, with post-production editing taking place between August 2022 and December 2022.
The film was initially scheduled for a domestic release on 14 April 2023, but this was delayed in favour of submission to the Montecara Film Festival, the first Pendukese film in over a decade to be submitted for consideration. The domestic release was pushed back to November 2022, following the festival's conclusion, with international distribution rights not yet sold.
