The documentary had an initial budget of £7000, which was raised via crowdfunding platform Indiegogo in just two weeks.
The film was conceived by co-director Paul Sng after he interviewed Sleaford Mods on 25 October, 2015 for Gigslutz TV with co-director Nathan Hannawin. At the end of December, Sng approached the band with the idea for a documentary that would follow the band on a tour of neglected areas of the UK in the run up to the 2015 General Election. Once the band had agreed the filmmakers had just 6 weeks to plan pre-production and raise funding.
