The decision was made by the Committee for Selection of Films for International Awards, formed by the Bhutan InfoComm and Media Authority (BICMA).

“The Monk And The Gun stood out as the unanimous choice of the Selection Committee. The film has garnered acclaim for its innovative storytelling, unique thematic elements, strong narrative, and exceptional performances by the cast. It was seen as a true reflection of Bhutan, both in terms of its narrative and technical craftsmanship,” said BICMA.
The movie was produced by Jean-Christopher Simon, Hsu Feng, Stephanie Lai and Dorji, and executive produced by Zhang Xin, William Horberg, Lisa Henson, Kris Eiamsakulrat, Chayamporn Taeratanachai, and Janee Pennington.
