difficult circumstances? Vincent Wants to Sea was created during Fitz’s time at the Munich screenplay workshop, which he applied to in 2008 in hopes of writing something that he might be able to star in. Viola Jäger and Harald Kügler from Olga-Film in Munich were recruited to produce the comedy. The two suggested Ralf Huettner to be the director. Ralf Huettner initially had to cancel due to other projects, which soon fell apart due to disagreements. Therefore, Huettner was available to work on Vincent Wants to Sea. It was not an immediate thought for the screenplay writer, Fitz, to also play the lead role as he had never done something like this before. The director, producer and Fitz quickly agreed he would be a good fit. Karoline Herfurth was asked to play the lead female role, who suffers from anorexia. Herfurth’s appearance in the movie was achieved with makeup, but in nude scenes, Herfurth was replaced with a body double, someone who actually suffered from anorexia. Both Heino Ferch and Katharina Müller-Elmau previously worked with Olga Films and were cast for the roles Robert and Dr. Rose. There was only a casting for the role of Alexander, a man who suffers from extreme obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Johannes Allmayer was shortly cast for this role. Filming for this production took place from July 28, 2009 through September 15, 2009. It took place in multiple areas starting in Munich, Berchtesgaden and in the Allgäu, including the municipality of Oberstdorf. In Mangfalltal, scenes were shot in districts of Bruckmühle. Filming continued in Italy in the regions of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Monfalcone and Trieste. Some scenes playing on Nebelhorn were shot in the original location as well as in the studio. A 360-degree shot showing the three main characters in front of a panorama of the Summit Cross was actually shot in front of a green screen. Director Ralf Huettner made changes to the script of Vincent Wants to Sea both during shooting as well as post-production. Soundtrack Vincent Wants to Sea includes a variety of genres of music such as; electronic, pop, indie and rock, throughout the film. Production includes popular American and German artists, most worked on by Stevie B-Zet and Ralf Hildenbeutel.
