For this film shoot, the crew had nothing more than a 16mm reel at their disposal, with a mere 30 meters of film left in it; equivalent to 3 minutes of actual footage. As one can imagine, this essentially forced them to ration everything down to the last second as far as the duration of each shot was concerned. Another bothersome factor was having to shoot without a clapper-board as a way of getting in as many shots as possible.

In those days (and this is one of those short films) Sergi Rubió always signed his work with the following link: myspace.com/sergirubio way at the bottom, at the very end of the credits, instead of the name of the production company, the distributor or at least the name of the person who owned the rights, not to mention the closing titles which one would find at the end of just about any commercial film.

Sergi Rubió chose not to hold a public screening of this film as there was a spelling mistake in the last credit of the film. Two months went by before an editor had time to correct this small and at the same time large detail, undoubtedly considered as such by the director.
