A MASSIVE congratulations to our star Ellie
@elliedelange and her lead role in the
@Netflix miniseries “Run Away” (#1 in TV Shows) now streaming worldwide and to the indelible Hayo
@hayodekruijf for landing the role of a lifetime as Ron Weasley in the NL production of the “Cursed Child”
@harrypotteronstagenl . And of course my eternal awe and gratitude to the always impressive
@bbschneider .
We shot De Kus on the shortest of shoestring budgets, on location in Friesland, of course, and only days before Christmas, in the middle of winter, just outside of my family’s hometown of Tzum, as well as Bolsward, NL. And on the only days it snowed there that year, no less.
Sadly, it released just in time for Covid in 2019, so we never got to do a full festival run, but that didn’t stop us from taking home “Best Foreign Short” at the Burbank Intl Film Festival
@burbankfilmfest .
Shot by one of my best mates, the always amazing
@prince.dpx and operated by the expert hand of
@mrallsop . It was cut by the incredible Shannon
@shannoncgriffin .
Of all my work, I continue to be most proud of this film. And the continued success of the cast and crew stands as a testament to undeniable talent both in front and behind camera.
I love you all. And Friesland for all, forever in my heart.
