Production

Originally, Ayub wanted to shoot in Iraq but found it too unsafe of a working environment for cast and crew. Instead, most of principal photography was in Jordan. Ayub reported difficulties casting girls and women because "every time when we told them that we wanted them for the film, they ghosted us," later finding out that it was due to a lack of parent permission.
