Backgroundedit
Supa Modo was produced as part of the One Fine Day Films workshop-project, which gives African filmmakers the opportunity to learn from mentors and create their stories for an international audience.[5] The project was founded by Tom Tykwer and Marie Steinmann. Other movies resulting from said workshops include Kati Kati, Nairobi Half Life, Something Necessary and Soul Boy.[6]
