- Pieter Goethals is known for About the Boy Who Ate an Oakwood Chair (2016), Corn Field (1993) and Scarecrow Boy (1993).
- Although "Oakwood Chair" looks like a big budget short film, the film was made on a shoestring budget. Nevertheless, everybody was paid on this production. Every intern, every extra,... That's why the funding took so long. Before there wasn't enough money, director Pieter Goethals didn't even wanna think about shooting.
- While assembling the necessary budget, director Pieter Goethals searched for every location in the film. He knocked on people's doors, told his story and tried to convince them in collaborating. All of them said "yes" when he walked out of the door. Not that obvious, because the whole film was going to be shot in unique Art Deco and Art Nouveau houses, museums,... all over Belgium (Gent, Brussels, Watermaal Bosvoorde and Middelkerke).
