One of the sponsors was "Derzhkino of Ukraine" (30%), which was helped with money by Russia (70% of the budget). As a result, about 900,000 dollars were spent on all the work performed by Dzorjadze. While the director's previous films were written by her husband Iraklii Kvirikadze, the script entitled "My Mermaid, My Lorelai" was written by Dinara Seidova and Nail Zakaryaeva. The director explains the help of the writer by the fact that the film is purely a woman's story, and that is why she invited her friends to write a story of unusual love. During screenings at various film festivals, the tape received mostly good reviews. In addition, the film was recorded in competitions as Ukrainian. After all, the film company "Viktoria", based in Odesa, was engaged in production. In addition, Ukrainians assisted their colleagues from Georgia as cameramen and artists.
