It says "Metrocolor" at the bottom of the poster- since that was MGM's in-house photo lab, I can only assume they either bankrolled it or St. John rented it from them while producing independently.

(Have you considered doing another weird MGM blax film, "Sweet Jesus Preacher Man"?)

Another MGM! They may have been involved; there's no studio logo at the beginning of the movie, so I figured it was independent.

I wasn't awared of Sweet Jesus, Preacherman, but it's on the list now!

If no logo is at the front, than St. John probably just rented the lab.

I remember seeing the poster for "Sweet Jesus" in a book on blaxploitation and thinking "Whaaaatttt?" Men of God usually don't carry heat.
