Director Thomas Ikimi stated at the premier that, unable to find funding for the film in the UK, he went to Nigeria and was given funding based purely on the fact he was a Nigerian director than on the script itself. He also apologized to the crew for his bad mood throughout filming due to the tightness of the budget and timetable. The film was completed on the morning of the premier (28 February 2010), and filmed entirely in Scotland despite being set in Brooklyn. |
