nabwana shot the film in january 2010 and edited it using a computer he assembled from old parts. the film's props and camera equipment were fabricated from scrap metal at a machine shop next to nabwana's house. the actors supplied their own costumes; one of them was given a mask so he could play two different roles in the same scene. squibs used to simulate gunshot wounds were made from condoms filled with red food coloring and tied to fishing lines before being taped to the actors' chests; nabwana previously used cow blood, but was forced to discontinue it after one of his actors developed tetanus.
