The project was originally pitched on Kickstarter as a spoof 45-minute pilot for a documentary TV series following fictionalised backstories and exploits of the members of the band. A $30,000 goal was set which was soon reached and surpassed. A total of $63,243 was raised by the end of the campaign. The mockumentary features cameos from some backers of the project on Kickstarter who pledged to be given a role in the film. During the edit, it was decided to alter production and produce a feature-film mockumentary with the footage instead. The finished product runs for 85 minutes. The project was distributed to its backers on the 14th of July 2016. A public screening was held at the Main Art Theatre in Detroit on the 8th of September 2016 and it was subsequently accepted into the Royal Starr Film Festival and screened publicly on the 15th of October 2016. As with previous Kickstarter campaigns run by the band, the option was given to pledge money in exchange for choosing a song that the band would cover to potentially appear in the film and to feature on the soundtrack. None of these made their way into the final cut but are all present on the soundtrack.Soundtrack album

Conversely, the film makes use of the songs " Dance Commander", " Night Vision", "Infected Girls", " Down at McDonnelzzz", " Gay Bar Part Two", "Personnel
