Saatao (Memories of Gloomy Monsoons) was independently produced through crowdfunding, with contributions from 1,559 individuals and logistical support from more than a hundred volunteers. The film took around three years to complete, from research to final post production.

It features a blend of local non professional performers and trained actors, including Aynun Putul, supported by a young, committed crew working closely with riverine communities to ensure authenticity.

Alongside winning four categories at the Bangladesh National Film Awards (Best Film, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Sound Design), the film also received the FIPRESCI Award and the Gautam Buddha Award at international festivals.
