On why the production company – Bleeding Art – decided to film a pandemic story, Producer Kemepade Bedford says “At the time we got the idea, it was during the lockdown. We started developing the idea but most importantly for us was to tell a story within our budget, that is, without a lot of casts. We felt it was going to be easier to tell a pandemic story from a love perspective. After making some experimental calls, I was convinced that this was the film.”
