Director Mike Wiluan told Medcom.id, in an interview published the day before the film's premiere, that he had been frustrated with colonial-themed Indonesian films being political dramas, likening it to a classroom, "We sit in the cinema for an hour or two not to jump to class or study again," and wanted to explore a more creative route. He first came up with the idea of a cowboy Western set in colonial Java in 2014, three years before production on the film, with actor Ario Bayu being among the first to be informed of his plans.[5] The initial script for the film was roughly 150 pages before being condensed to 100 pages.[6]
On 3 July 2017, actor Tio Pakusadewo first revealed details of the film to Kompas and announced that he was set to appear in it alongside the likes of Ario Bayu, Pevita Pearce, Happy Salma, Donny Damara and El Manik. Principal photography was scheduled for 20 August 2017.[7]
The total number of actors and crew involved with the film numbered between 220 to 230 people.[5] The rehearsals and pre-production took about three months.[5] Pevita Pearce stated that she underwent archery training for two months, and trained with stuntmen from France and Thailand during rehearsals. Pearce added that riding the kerbau (water buffalo) was a "very big challenge" for her, describing them as "wild" and harder to control than horses.[8]
Yoshi Sudarso stated that he was the last to join the cast,[9] having joined a month before filming began and a week after reading the script.[10] He had difficulty with Indonesian, after having moved to the United States at age nine where he lived for 20 years and wasn't as fluent in the language. He spent a month learning Indonesian, and stated that costars Pevita Pearce, Hannah Al Rashid and others were helpful.[9] Sudarso also revealed he was offered a lucrative eight-year Hollywood contract as a stuntman and had to choose between doing the film or accepting the contract. After reading the script and speaking to the director, he made the decision to work on Buffalo Boys because his "heart and mind was in acting, not stunts anymore."[11] Speaking to NBC News, Sudarso stated, "Westerns are such a big part of American culture, but as Asian Americans, we never see ourselves in them."[12]
The film was shot on location in Yogyakarta, Java and in a studio in Batam, Riau Islands. In Yogyakarta, the production rented land in the Watu Murah area of Nanggulan, Kulon Progo. Scenes were typically shot between 3 AM and 6 PM.[1] Filming took place across 40 days. They shot in Yogyakarta for two weeks, with the rest being shot at their studio in Batam.[13]
According to Wiluan, they had initially thought riding a water buffalo would be easy and similar to riding a horse. However, they found it to be one of the most difficult tasks.[14] The biggest obstacle was the erratic weather; when it rained they would shelter inside as it made it difficult to film outdoors.[15]
A teaser trailer for the film was released on 16 March 2018.[16] The full-length trailer was released on 20 April.[17] On 2 May, the line-up for the 28th Fantasia International Film Festival was announced which included a world premiere for the film slated for 14 July 2018 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[18]

Indonesian critic Agniya Khoiri of CNN Indonesia praised the film's action choreography and its depiction of colonialism, but criticized its quality of CGI and its choice of forgoing spoken Javanese and Dutch in favor of Indonesian and English.[25] Indonesian critic Paskalis Damar of SinekDoks stated, "As an action blockbuster, this Western crawls too deep into muds of character introductions and event set-ups, despite its straightforward premise [...] the movie also often suffers from clumsy scene transition. Disjointed scenes makes the dramatic portion feels a little incoherent and jumpy."[26] Brian Thompson of TheYoungFolks rated the film 7/10 and stated that "the film treats each fluid battle sequence as a miniature ballet. Calling upon both high noon shootouts and poetic martial arts precision, the transcendent actions set pieces strewn throughout Buffalo Boys are expertly staged."[27]

Just as a buffalo boy recognizes each of his own buffaloes, a manager must know each of his team members - their strengths, skills, personality, and weaknesses. Only then can a manager facilitate productivity.
Just as a buffalo boy scrubs his animals clean, a manager must be fair to his people by practicing justice, resolving issues without any bias. A manager should strive to create a happy working atmosphere for his people - free from favoritism, interpersonal conflicts, work-life balance and much more.
Just as a buffalo boy finds a safe shallow place in the river for his buffaloes to cross, a manager must negotiate deadlines with customers or get external help for his people to ease their life when they are overloaded.

The Boys and Young Men of Color Alignment initiative was created to increase academic achievement and job readiness and to develop youth leaders as advocates for change to strengthen and ultimately improve life outcomes for young males of color in the Greater Buffalo community.
The Boys and Young Men of Color Alignment was established in 2016 and is a key initiative of the Greater Buffalo Racial Equity Roundtable. With the guidance of PolicyLink, a national think tank focused on advancing racial and economic equity, the coalition determined that it would focus on elevating the voices of boys and young men of color by creating a youth leadership council. From there, a Youth Leadership Planning Committee was formed, which included voices of boys and young men of color, to develop the process for applying to the council, a plan for recruitment and the design of the program.
