Production

Director Antoinette Jadaone considers That Thing Called Tadhana as her "dream project" and described it as "more than 10 years’ worth of love stories, heartaches, heartbreaks, bitterness and acceptance". The lead protagonist, Mace was first drafted during 2014 while Jadaone was filming for Relaks, It's Just Pagibig, the character had a cameo appearance in the said film but was played by Alessandra De Rossi as opposed to Panganiban.

The film makes use of Whitney Houston's song "Where Do Broken Hearts Go", inflating the cost beyond the film's ₱2 million budget awarded by the film festival. The crew turned to donations from fans on Facebook to raise funds to obtain the rights to the song before its film festival premiere.
