Ulli Lommel wanted Marian Dora to make a movie based on the real life Armin Meiwes case, because he needed the film as contract awarded by Lions Gate. But after Dora screened the film, Lommel told him that it was not possible to hand the film over to Lions Gate or do anything else with the film, because Lommel felt sick when the film came to his mind. This is why Lommel did his own version Diary of a Cannibal (2007) with Dora as second unit director.
Made with the budget of 2000 euro. Marian Dora shoot the picture with very little crew, a camcorder, and in just one week.
