BREATHING INTO MARBLE now in production
In Production May 2016
- THE LONGING by Joram Lürsen, producers: EAVE graduate Laurette Schillings, EAVE+ graduates Frans van Gestel and Arnold Heslenfeld is in production. Written by Frank Ketelaar, the story revolves around the very attractive Brigitte who shows up at publisher Goudemondt with a horrible manuscript. The publishers see possibilities: They make her switch roles with an unsightly and stuttering author of a literary masterpiece. The trick works; the book becomes both artistically and financially a huge success, but the initial agreement between all parties overturns into a bitter strife for acknowledgement. Principal photography starts in April 2016. The film is going to be released in Dutch cinemas in Spring 2017.
