Production

Director and screenplay writer Volodymyr Tykhyi, together with the co-producer of the film Marko Suprun, hoped to secure most of the funding for the film through a patriotic pitch at the Ministry of Culture in 2018. In June 2018, the film, then titled "Blinzash" (Bunker), participated in the competitive selection of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine for receiving state financial support for the production and distribution of patriotic films.

Later, in June 2019, the film, then titled "Lethal Kittens," became the winner of the pitching competition organized by the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation (UCF) for the completion of film production and promotional campaign. The film received 239.5 points from UCF experts.

In July 2019, the film, still under the working title "Lethal Kittens," became the winner of the eleventh competitive selection by the State Film Agency. The total budget for the film was initially stated as ₴40.4 million, and the creators requested ₴7.3 million from the State Film Agency. However, in the final result, the creators received financial support of only ₴0.98 million (2.33% of the final budget).

In total, the state (UCF, State Film Agency) sponsored ₴10.0 million (approximately 23.4% of the total final budget).

In addition to the state funding, producer Marko Suprun, through his film company Bedlam Productions, and Stepan Bandera Jr., through his film company Banesto Productions, managed to attract funds from private investors in the United States and Canada. Former Acting Minister of Health of Ukraine, Ulyana Suprun, became one of the film's producers.
