OQTOO has been commissioned by Sigma Pictures to handle the full post-production for the feature film Het Leven is Vurrukkulluk. Directed by Frans Weisz based on the screenplay by Theo Nijland, who is also composing the soundtrack. The lead roles are played by Reinout Scholten van Aschat, Géza Weisz (son of…) and Romy Louise Lauwers.

OQTOO – Next Level is based on a new concept: not a new institute, but a well-organized and sustainable partnership. Multiple parties specifically assembled for this production, for example. Top specialists operating together as a single entity on a project basis, led by Ben Willems, Managing Director of OQTOO.

The company operates from premises at Wenckebachweg 68, owned by FC Walvisch. The CINEMA (a reference cinema) serves as the base for color grading and audio mixing for film. Projection is performed using a 2K Barco DCI projector onto a screen with a diameter of 9 meters (!). The sound system is 7.1 and Dolby certified. Image and sound quality are described by experts as sublime. Companies such as Milestone Amsterdam (Post-producing), More2Cam (data handling and online rushes), Hectic Electric (VFX), Intermission (trailers), PlusOne (design and leaders), Haghefilm-digitaal (Film lab, deliveries), many freelance editors, freelance colorists, and of course FC Walvisch (Sound design, Audio post-production, and film mixing) are the collaborating partners. For each production, we determine which parties need to be added to achieve a top-notch result and then operate as a single post-production house in Amsterdam!

Het Leven is vurrukkulluk is an exciting and creatively challenging project. Very close collaboration is required between the sound and visual specialists: the film contains many beautiful poetic images, specially composed music, and dialogues in an atmosphere that alternates between the 1960s and the present day. From this combination, we have assembled a top team and are looking forward to getting to work. It is going to be a party! To quote Frans Weisz: “It is a fairy tale, not a film, it is a celebration. I have never started a film so in love…”.
