The film was produced on a $3000 budget,[3] and member of the production stated that many of the scenes were shot unscripted. The cast credited themselves under pseudonyms.[1] It was screened at the Esquire Theater, in Cincinnati.[4]

A trailer was released in 2015.[5] It received a limited release on April 20, 2015,[6] then in 2018, Llamageddon released onto Amazon Prime Video for rental.
