- The idea of having Ward Hulselmans' diary excerpts of his journeys aboard the cargo ships Elbfeeder and MSC Alessia recorded by Ward himself was born when I listened to his Radio 2 interview for the umpteenth time.

What a beautiful voice! We decided that this was the best way to let his diary phrases appeal to the imagination and bring them to life.

We are very grateful to Ward Hulselmans for joining us in our plan to record his diary excerpts, to Kobe Van Reppelen for his professional assistance during the shootings and to Peter Van times for his hospitality.
