Production
Principal photography on the film began on 15 November 2015 and ended on 20 November 2015. The plane sequence on the film was shot on an actual plane at Wilson airport as opposed to creating a set on a sound stage.

The director, Njue Kevin, on this decision said, “We would have used twice the budget on a set other than the actual airport. When on a shoestring budget, you have to do what you have to do.”
