Production

She joined the cast after being recommended to Ameen by Purnell.

The film's production began in late summer of 2020. The movie was filmed on location in London for six weeks in November and December. They filmed during the COVID-19 lockdown in locations like South Bank, Carnaby Street, and The Jazz Café.
