But the documentary shows over the hard action. ,, It may be that the stuntman is put down as past glory, but that’s just to show how life really is for him. ” Because except for the stunts, Rinse Zwalua creates with his stunt team Daring Dantes himself for putting down literally everything from the chairs to car wrecks and paste them myself on posters to advertise.
,, We decided the documentary to submit to Makers of Tomorrow, because it is a strong story. We have never seen this anywhere. After the accident with the monster in October in Haaksbergen was somewhat more current, but when this documentary was already made. “
A few weeks after the submission they received message to their delight that the production would be broadcast . ,, The level of what they broadcast is high, so we are proud that we are there among them. “
School Friends
Vortical occurs when René and Thomas (the latter comes from Gelderland Wijchen) in their second year of training as a filmmaker at the Koning Willem I College in Den Bosch sit.
,, We were classmates and had to set up a fictitious own business. We had exactly the same ideas. “So decide schoolfriends in March 2013 instead of a fictitious company to start a real case.
According to René, he and Thomas had much luck in the two-year anniversary of Vortical . ,, People who happens needed a movie, got in touch with us. ” They are after all more than documentaries. Business Promotion, music videos, short films, the men grab everything they get thrown in their lap. ,, We want to be as universal as possible and as much as possible offer. “
The young Veener not expect all of their work from now on always being broadcast nationwide. The two are again with local TV stations conversation to develop ideas for programs. They want to make a cooking program and about dream jobs. ,, No, hopefully we’ll get some more publicity to the transmission, for the rest, we especially want to continue to do the things we really like . ”
