Ndifreke Usendiah, the film’s producer, said this about the movie:
Asides from the fact that this film was shot out of love and the need to create more awareness on the struggle that not just women but everyone going through mental health challenges faces and should seek professional help, it also explains or opens our eyes to see more on superstitious beliefs and more.
I promise you there are more beautiful stories we can’t wait to shoot for the world to see, there’s more where this came from.
