I'll Take My Chances was the biggest film to come out of Royal Arts Academy production house in terms of budget and production inputs at the time of its release.[3] The producer had always wanted to make films centred on dance, which was her specialization in school, but had not found the right script.[4] She states: "This project is one that is dear to my heart".[4] The Canadian dancer Ashleigh Clark was flown in from the United States solely for the purpose of this film.[4] Most of the film was shot on location in Akwa Ibom.
