Heart told NewsDay Life & Style that besides doing reality TV shows such as his debut, Being Braydan, he has always been a fan of disaster films and decided to tell a story on the current situation.

“I have always been a fan of disaster films like The Day After Tomorrow, 2012 and War of the Worlds to name a few.

Seeing that right now we have a pandemic of our own, a fellow filmmaker Taku Dzino and I thought it would be interesting to tell a story within such a fresh relatable crisis,” he said.

Heart said the film would have various messages throughout its narrative.

“One message we can reveal at the moment is that the film will educate people to expect whatever events might happen during the worst days of a crisis. Such as martial law and to put their trust in God no matter what happens.

No matter how hopeless you may feel at times, don’t ever stop trusting him,” he said.

“After the production we are hoping to screen it on various platforms and film festivals and not forgetting going for that RoilBulawayo Arts Award,” he said.
