't Water moge stijgen (2019)
Co-writer and Co-director / Short Fiction / In pre-production
Together with co-director Chris de Krijger we're making a short WO II film about the Slag om de Schelde this autumn.
't Water Moge Stijgen is a short film shot entirely on a boat in the water, after the English troops flooded the Dutch island of Walcheren by bombing the dikes. A married couple rows away from their flooded farm in search of dry land, carrying all their possessions on a small boat. When their boat gets stuck in an area surrounded by mines the couple comes to a standstill. Tensions, fed by five years of war, rise between the two.
