[5] The research involved chef Adzan Tri Budiman and writer Reno Andam Suri as culinary advisors and choreographer Tom Ibnur as a dialect coach and cultural advisor. [6] [7]

Principal photography began in January 2014 in Jakarta, Bogor, and Serui. In Serui, more than 200 local residents participated as extras during the filming. [8]

Tabula Rasa was released theatrically in Indonesia on 25 September 2014. [9] The film was screened at the 2018 Sofia International Film Festival on 23 March 2018, as the first Indonesian film to screen at the festival. [10]
