Production

The principal photography of the film was postponed due to the nationwide lockdown implemented in Nigeria during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.[2] The film became the second batch of the Western African Film Fund with the collaboration of Sneeze Films, FilmOne, iFactory Films, and CEM Media Group along with HuaHua Media and Empire Entertainment. The film was made based on the Ebola outbreak despite speculations that merged that the film was inspired by the COVID-19 outbreak.[5] Director Inwang, who was the brainchild of the story for the film, revealed that he had begun conceiving the story in 2016 based on the Ebola virus outbreak in 2015.[5] The film was predominantly shot in Lagos.
