TRIVIA

Trivia

The film features 4 languages commonly spoken in Kenya : English, Kiswahili, Sheng and Kikuyu.

Official submission of Kenya for the 'Best Foreign Language Film' category of the 91st Academy Awards in 2019.

Stycie Waweru shaved off all her hair to portray the terminally ill Jo in the film.

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.

The director of the film appears in a brief cameo towards the end: he is the thief who flees from Jo on a motorcycle.
