kop (short film)

'two people carry, sculpt, love and protect a large, stone head. as their journey continues, tension grows.' feb. 2016: ‘kop’ (head) was shot within three days at kootwijkerzand, holland. this relatively vast stretch of dunes and underbrush is surrounded by a thick forrest and is quite a unique place. it influenced the development of the idea and different visual elements a lot. the result is an esthetic, poetic and playful short film about two people and their feelings towards each other, the head and their environment. we worked with a young and very motivated team. as this was my first short film, we felt free to experiment and improvise freely on the script (that mostly consisted of drawings and photographs) and with the final form. we learned many things during the production proces, and we hope you will enjoy the film. credits: director, soundtrack and editting - maurice de bruijne cinematography - mink pinster clothing - cherish brouwer camera-assistent - dayna casey graphic design - remy leeflang set-sound - ruben bastiaanse production - mirthe de bruijne male actor - marijn brussaard female actor - sophie mantel
