 Through out filming so many things went wrong (boom problems,  camera, sound problems), the producer tried to lighten the mood by  bringing in copies of the film Living In Oblivion by Tom DiCillo and  distributing them through out the cast and crew, instructing them  that it was a "self help" guide to making a film. Later director  Antal Kovacs would refer to Hwerow Hweg as the living proof of  Living in Oblivion.
