Birth Control was a 2nd year York University student film project by Paul Nguyen. Principal photography for Birth Control was completed during March 2004. Birth Control was an official selection at 2004 New York Independent Film and Video Festival and the March Movie Marathon in New York City. Paul Nguyen also served as an actor and fight choreographer. Birth Control also marks the return of Paul Nguyen and Mark Simms' childhood friend, stunt actor Sophy Kong. Sophy appeared in over 100 short films directed by Paul Nguyen and Mark Simms spanning 1994 to 2001.
 
Trivia: Paul Nguyen replaced Mark Simms in the climatic battle scene with Faruk, because Mark wore a different shirt on shooting day.
