Current status<br />
Treatment available. The script is in finaldraft<br />
stage. The project was developed with<br />
financial support from the Dutch <strong>Film</strong> Fund<br />
(project and script development). We will<br />
apply to various Dutch funds and broadcasters,<br />
and hope to raise about 70% of the<br />
budget, which means that from co-production<br />
and additional funding we plan to raise<br />
the remaining 30% (€350,000)<br />

Aims at the NPP<br />
We are looking for co-producing partners, particularly<br />
in Germany, Scandinavia, Russia or<br />
France. We are also seeking an international<br />
sales agent and international distribution.<br />
Preferably all of the above will love<br />
auteur-driven and character-driven productions<br />
with a visual, cinematographic style<br />
that captures audiences and gives way to<br />
imagination and hope.<br />
