An interesting excerpt from the article, emphases mine:

Interviewer: When did you start putting up the “Who is MIT” posters to advertise? Did you intend for them to be linked to the event?

Igel: We wanted to have a teaser one month before the premiere, so around April 1. The posters were Wesley’s idea. And I was scared at first because I was like “this makes our movie look way more combative, way more controversial than it is,” but we did it anyway.
