My name is Robin de Ridder, a 4th-year student at ROCa12 in Ede-Wageningen, and I am studying the College for Film and Television (Photonics). Starting in February, we will be doing an internship at a company within our field. I already have a fair amount of experience on set and would like to expand on this. Production really appeals to me; working on set where you act as a liaison between pretty much all departments. Last summer, I worked as a production assistant on the set of NewKidsNitro. I enjoyed it so much that I would like to continue in this field. I don't have a 9-to-5 mentality; I work hard and meticulously. I know what it's like to have to get up in the middle of the night or skip nights of sleep. I see these as challenges, not obstacles. My internship runs from January 30, 2012, to June 22, 2012. If it suits you better, it is possible to start earlier in consultation; I am open to that as well! If you are looking for someone outside this period, I would still appreciate an email from you, because I would also like to work on this project alongside school! You miss 100% of the shots you don't take! Should you have any further questions, I can be reached at my email. Who knows where it will take us! Yours sincerely, Robin de Ridder [email protected]

Wiebenik Acting Workshop Sat 15 & Sun 16 October 2011, all-inclusive at Hotel Oranjeoord (near Apeldoorn) With guest coach Anouk van Nes (known from Musical and TV and teacher at the Amsterdam Theatre School) Who you are and what you know when you are born is the only thing you need to know to flourish. You are born with a natural sense of the "Self," a sense of self-worth, and with the mechanisms to express this feeling. Who you are as a person determines who you are as an actor/actress! In this two-day experiential acting workshop with a self-exploratory character, you will learn how various acting techniques influence your acting performance and personal behavior. The weekend centers around "Who Am I?". Who am I as an actor/actress, as a person. One of the greatest challenges for an actor or actress is to seek out their personal depth and use it in building a given character. October 15 & 16 Hotel Oranjeoord based on 1 overnight stay, 2 lunches, 1 breakfast, 1 dinner (incl. drinks): 2 full days of workshop & relaxation for only € 350 pp. Sign up now!

On Wednesday, September 28, 2011, the New Dutch Film Platform (NNFP) was launched, an initiative to give an extra boost to the financing of Dutch feature films. The NNFP combines elements of crowdfunding and private financing for tax reasons, and adds the membership element as a new component—a membership element previously unknown in the film world. Due to budget cuts in the cultural sector, the Dutch film sector will also take a heavy hit. However, the cuts are also inspiring new forms of financing, such as crowdfunding, and are giving a new impetus to already known forms of private financing, such as the partnership (comparable to the film limited partnership). The New Dutch Film Platform (NNFP), an initiative by producers Herman Slagter and Jan Doense (House of Netherhorror), combines elements of crowdfunding (*) and private financing—in which tax benefits and profit motives are the dominant driving forces—with a new and unique membership element: through a contribution of €6.00 or more per month via direct debit, every participant becomes a co-owner of the films to be produced and distributed by the NNFP. Through the membership element, the NNFP aims to build a sustainable relationship with the participants. The focus is on the production and distribution of multiple films for the long term, in which interaction with the participants forms an essential part. This includes online casting, poster design, finding locations, extras, finding new film projects, etc. The Internet (www.nnfp.nl) and social media (Facebook, Twitter) will be of essential importance in this regard. Participation in the NNFP effectively brings forward the moment when the film enthusiast buys their film. Participants decide for themselves which film they would like to see even before it is made. This represents a fundamental change in the entire feature film distribution model. Moreover, 50% of the annual profit generated by films financed through the NNFP is distributed to the participants. Initially, the NNFP's funding model will be used exclusively for the realization of four Dutch low-budget horror films developed by House of Netherhorror, for which the screenplays were developed with support from the Commercial Film Intendant of the Netherlands Film Fund. These are BIJLMER VOODOO by Barend de Voogd and Erwin van den Eshof, DE POEL by Chris W. Mitchell, IN HET DUISTER by Mark Weistra, and NIEUW BLOED by Edwin Visser and Frank van Geloven. In the future, however, the NNFP will also focus on financing other film projects. (*) Crowdfunding is the brainstorming, sharing, and financing (often through small donations) of projects by online groups, in which social media plays a prominent role. Crowdfunding has taken off over the past two years. The best-known example is undoubtedly Kickstarter.com, where people can support art, culture, and film projects. More than 50 million euros has already been raised via Kickstarter.com for many projects worldwide. In the Netherlands, we are familiar with Voordekunst.nl, Tenpages.com, and Cinecrowd.nl, among others.
