The director chose to tell this particular story as it is a based on a true story of the case of Samantha Joseph. Also she wants to raise awareness of violence and show what it is like being raised in Brixton.

The budget for the film was under £1 Million or approximately $75,000. They got the money by donations via crowdfunding and gained an initial £20k from Walcot Foundation by fundraising.

They found the film's cast by agencies, theatres, schools,community centres but mainly by street castings which makes it more authentic and cheaper.

The director collaborated with David Raedeker (director of photography), Tracy Granger (editor) and Julie Fawcett (community liaison). It was important to collaborate with them because without them, the film could have never been possible.

The technology used to make the film was ATR (automated dialogue replacement).

There was no cross media convergence.

The film was made in London, Brixton and this was important to the director as she wanted to show the true events that happens in Brixton.
