Production and release

The movie is based on the experiences of Nigerians during the 2016 MMM online scheme which promised 30% returns on investment. The scheme inadvertently crashed and put subscribers in distress. In an interview, the movie’s producer, said the project was aimed at sensitising Nigerians to avoid get-rich-quick schemes. It was shot in Lagos but set in Ota, Ogun State.

The movie voice technique was employed as Uzo Aniunoh was both an actress and a narrator. This technique has been used in movies like Fight Club and Memento.
