Stop-motion animation Under The Apple Tree on CineCrowd

From April 21, Erik van Schaaik's film project Under The Apple Tree is available on crowdfunding platform CineCrowd: www.cinecrowd.nl/under-apple-tree. Under The Apple Tree is a bizarre horror comedy about worms, apples, family, divorces, and death. A film with a heart, even if it might not be beating anymore… To realize the film, the director and producer Pedri Animation aim to raise €15,000 within 30 days. Under The Apple Tree is a stop-motion animation about two brothers: an apple farmer and a priest. These two quarreling characters are completely unaware of the comings and goings of the two smaller creatures, Aber and Crombie, worm brothers who live inside an apple. When the human story intertwines with the animal story, everything goes terribly wrong. The worms separate and reunite. Humans die and wake up with a start. Rain and thunder lash the cemetery. Is there divine intervention or basic agricultural principles at play? One thing is certain: apple cider will never taste the same again. “Under The Apple Tree is a film full of contradictions: Bizarre yet moving. An animal story yet a human drama. Staged like a feature film, but with rhyming dialogue. It is all about the inner world, literally and figuratively.” Erik van Schaaik, writer/director: Erik van Schaaik has been fascinated by horror stories from a young age. His fondness for thunderstorms, fluttering curtains, and long, dark corridors led him to the south of the Belgian Ardennes, where he lived in a castle and began writing Under The Apple Tree. In the style of Poe, Wilde, and Dahl; a fun little horror fable that satirically sketches the similarities between man and worm, resulting in the union of the two: the walking dead. CineCrowd CineCrowd is the crowdfunding platform for film. The Under The Apple Tree campaign runs from April 21, 2015, to May 21, 2015.

Cinema Islemunda Herenwaard 17 Tel: 010 – 2680373 www.islemunda.nl [email protected] Wednesday evening, April 29 – start 8:00 PM: DANCE WITH THE DEVIL Admission € 5.00 DIRECTOR ANGELO PEREZ LEBBINK IS PRESENT FOR A Q&A Rembrandt Awards: Tygo Gernandt was named Best Actor of 2015 on Sunday, April 19, for his role in Bloedlink. Melody Klaver stars in the thriller *Dans met de duivel* by directors John de Haas and Angelo Perez Lebbink. She stars alongside Raymond Thiry, with whom she is making a film for the third time. The pair previously shared the screen in the drama *Langer licht* by David Lammers and in the film adaptation of the well-known book *Oorlogswinter* by Jan Terlouw. Making a feature film in the style of Pim de la Parra—according to filmmakers Angelo Perez Lebbink and John de Haas—is still possible. Starring: Raymond Thiry, Lizelotte van Dijk, Peter Faber, Werner Kolf, Dorien Rose Duinker, Meriyem Manders, Louise Wellers, Kees Boot, Melody Klaver, Tygo Gernandt, Rachid Larouz, Aicha Hallie, Ilias Ojja et al. The title song was written by the Brabant chansonnier André van den Boogaart. With a mysterious organization breathing down his neck, the corrupt, bipolar AIVD agent Pronk (Raymond Thiry from, among others, BLOED SWEET EN TRANEN, Tussen 10 en 12, Penoza, Oorlogswinter, Langer licht) accepts one final assignment in Dans met de Duivel. Pronk wants out of the organization, but sets out one last time. He incites the innocent Maddy to commit murder to stay out of the line of fire himself. For him, and also for Maddy, it will be a Dance with the Devil. Does this premise sound familiar? That is not surprising, because Dance with the Devil is a loose adaptation of John Badham's action thriller Nick of Time (1995), starring Johnny Depp and Christopher Walken. Thiry (Winter of War, Black Out) plays the role of Walken. Furthermore, Peter Faber has been cast as the target of the attack, Melody Klaver as his assistant, and Kees Boot as the evil genius. Producer, writer, and director John de Haas: 'John Badham was really happy that we were going to make an adaptation of Nick of Time. http://cineville.nl/
