The production had an extensive and long marketing campaign, with the fake band playing during the nation's music awards gala and a song from the sound-track making it onto public broadcaster's video chart show. The film includes a string of local celebrity cameos, a trademark move by the directing duo. Much of the marketing push was undertaken by the film's co-directors Andres Maimik and Rain Tolk.
The film will next go to Estonian VoD network Elion and eventually will be aired by the country's public broadcaster ETV, which co-financed the project. With most of the attention paid to domestic marketing, there is no international sales agent on board yet.
The budget of the film is reported as a modest 450,00 EUR.
