Our film projects
‘One Last Case, Detective Straat’ directed by Vincenzo Toscani
Emerging from the AATG’s 2025 Film-making workshops, this short from visionary Director Vincenzo Toscani stars Ron Hooghiemstra as the eponymous Detective Straat embarking on one last case. Who killed Adrian Cole?
Shot on location The Hague in April 2026, the film will premier in September.
‘A Clockwork Killer’ directed by Henri Colens, a 48 Hour Film Project
We received the compulsory elements of our short film at 7.30pm, on Friday 11 October 2024.
Our film genre: a science fiction AI movie.
Our character: a kleptomaniac, named Jack.
Our line of dialogue: “Big Brother is watching you”.
And our prop: an allen key.
Seconds later, Holly and Henri had started on the script. As midnight approached, Michael joined the scribblers, injecting some good old-fashioned Scotch profanity. By 8am on Saturday, we were on location in Scheveningen. The day was long, but Vincenzo and his crew worked tirelessly. Our five actors, Sara, Lu, Ron, Miguel and Chris jumped into their characters with gusto. Principal photography ended at around 7pm, our crew consisting of Marianna, Sergio, Sonja, Tanya, Ilya, Marisa and Angelo went home, while Vincenzo started the edit, working throughout the night and into Sunday. With literally minutes remaining before the 7.30pm deadline, the film was uploaded. We had done it! We had created a short movie, from scratch, in 48 hours!
‘Fear’ directed by John Kearey
Featuring performances from Elske Toot and Lorna Wijma, the first project of the fledgling AATG filmclub was shot in the sunny Berkhoutpark in Voorschoten, on 6 June 2023. ‘Fear’ is a short theatrical piece written by Canadian playwright Greg Nelson and adapted for film by John Kearey.
