[2] 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.

Both Heino Ferch and Katharina Müller-Elmau previously worked with Olga Films and were cast for the roles Robert and Dr. Rose.

Vincent Wants to Sea includes a variety of genres of music such as; electronic, pop, indie and rock, throughout the film.

Vincent Wants to Sea received a lot of comments regarding how the actors portrayed the said disabilities shown throughout this film, specifically Florian David Fitz performance of Tourettes syndrome.

[10]” The Washington Post - “The picture’s quiet performances and occasionally surprising moments take it just far enough off the beaten path to make it more than a transparently formulaic feel-good story.

"[11] NDR Kultur - “ Vincent Wants to Sea lacks speed and rhythm in all understandable efforts to achieve wit and lightness.

As positive as it is to shoot a feature film about a couple of handicapped young people, it is just as deplorable when the work turns out to be quite conservative.

Florian David Fitz and Karoline Herfurth as Vincent and Marie alone make the witty, conventional comedy an experience.

Their attempt to live a rather crazy relationship alone has the disturbing power that makes Vincent Wants to Sea suitable for cinema.

Only the jokes about the disabled are sometimes “a bit superficial in Vincent Wants to Sea, an otherwise quiet road movie comedy that fortunately lacks all kitsch of dismay.” For Huettner, the production is “at least a respectable comeback that shows how good he is with actors who can work and gives hope that he will be given a chance in the cinema more often".
