I collaborated with film & photography company Hazazah on short film Unité.
On a tight budget I set up the production of the film together with production manager Cecile. Both of us worked intensively on making sure everything was in place for the shoot on the 3rd and 4th of March 2018.
It was the first time collaborating with Hazazah, which was fun process: a very open and approachable client with amazing people. The process went fairly smooth: we traveled to Paris for research on the film and decided on shooting in a studio in Amsterdam. The complete film plays out in a police bus, which the guys of Goed Bezig Producties built in the film studio.
The end result will be considered for selection at the 2018 Dutch Film Festival in Utrecht (september).
