This film is Ramon Etman's dream project. He claims he came up with the title 'Horizonica' at age eight. In 2000, he started work on the screenplay. After falling almost fatally ill, he recovered and managed to finish the project.
With practically no budget, Ramon Etman managed to cast various Dutch celebrities, actors, singers, DJs, as well as cult filmmaker Lloyd Kaufman of Troma fame.
The movie was made by 1236 volunteers.
