David Díaz was trying to made this short film since 2004. It wrote a first draft for a short film workshop at the C.C.O.O. He also unfinished two different version in 2005 and 2006. One with his cousin Bruno Cuevas as the lead and his sister Paloma Cuevas has God. In the second, David was the lead, Abraham Caballero was Death, Agata Montoto was Santa Petra and Aída Sabouri was God. Abraham actually got a cameo role on the final short film.
Death says "When you die, suddenly everybody loves you". That line is actually said by Gregory House in House (2004).
David Díaz wanted to show hell as a movie theater showing bad movies. His teacher Fran Ventura give to him a list of films including Dogville (2003) and Battleship Potemkin (1925), David refused to choose Battleship Potemkin (1925) because it was one of his favorite movies. The Man Who Saved the World (1982) was finally shown in that sequence.
The short was the "5 Days Short Film" for the I.O.R.T.V. school, but the short was finally shot in 6 days. Shot begin on a Thursday and finished on Wenesday. David Díaz shot alone in his house the shots of the "MTv" program during the weekend.
