Not exceeding 33,000$. Despite being a low-budget production, the cast consisted of 48 actors, over 50 extras, and 80 crew members working behind the camera; including cinematography, writing, editing, graphics, dancers, other technicians as well as a complete media team.
This movie is considered to be the first Yemeni cinematic production to be featured in theaters for public viewing. Whereas previous productions used to be directly featured in international festivals; this one was open for the people in Aden city.
The movie was shot in the toughest situation to ever face the Yemen; where safety and security hit rock bottom, along with the struggling economy. Yet there was a huge determination to shoot the outdoor scenes, which totaled in 60% of the scenes, knowing the dangers that would tag along, especially considering the political unrest. Not to mention the daily assassinations and other sorts of harassment filling the news, despite all of that, the crew took a chance at working outside in the streets with the actors and actresses.
The story line was under discussion off and on for a period of 5 years before the official work of writing the screenplay started, which lasted for 4 months of an intensive workshop. Later was the casting process which took place simultaneously with choosing the filming locations in a matter of 2 months. The actual filming/shooting time was only one month.
