The casting process was open to the public and involved Kenyan actors even though the production received applications from actors across the globe including some from LA, Hollywood, London, and Germany.[8] The casting call was put online and received 1000 applicants with only 25 making it to the film.[8] After the writing, Njue hired a storyboard artist and camped 4 weeks in his apartment in Nairobi[9] where they made sketches and images to visually tell the story.
