Hi everyone, I've got some scary news. The festival where Erik is got hit by severe weather and a tent collapsed. It's big in the news in Holland and Belgium. Three people died and a lot of others got hurt. I don't know if he's one of them (I hope not). Here's an English link: http://www.gossipcop.c...

Hey, I liked your video, at times. Some scenes were a bit long but other times it actually made me laugh. This reminded me of Borat so much and if it was edited a bit better it could actually turn out really well. I think the pacing is the biggest problem, yes. If I would have had more time I could...

I found your criticism of Free Refill very helpful. I thought I'd give my opinion on your film. * The music in the beginning sounds kind of like the music in Bassie & Adriaan, a kid's show from the Netherlands about a clown and his acrobat brother who have adventures and solve mysteries. * The shots...

I'll use bullet point criticism so I can make remarks while watching your film... * The opening shot was pretty bad.

Thanks Erik! I'm 19 years old. I live in Zoetermeer, which is indeed pretty close to Leiden. I would be interested in teaming up, I read your topic about writing, and I've never directed another person's work.

Thank you!

Hi everyone! This is the third and last film of mine I'll post for now. It's called Double/Life (Dubbel/Leven in Dutch) and it was made for another edition of the same contest I made ';' for. It's kind of flawed: it's very talky, and the plot isn't very clear. Also, the producer didn't manage to fin...
