Technically and operationally, these companies work within the same structure as Filmmore Amsterdam, enabling it – by making use of fast networking – making it possible to collaborate on major international projects. With the new branch, Filmmore also aims to be the point of contact for Dutch producers who make use of the Belgian Tax Shelter for feature films. Hans van Helden (1973), who graduated as a film editor from the Netherlands Film and Television Academy in 1997, has worked for more than thirteen years as a post-production and visual effects supervisor for feature films and documentaries. He has worked on over thirty national and international feature films and was responsible for the visual effects in, among others, Zwartboek, Oorlogswinter, IEP!, and the stereoscopic film Amphibious 3D. Van Helden possesses an extensive international network, making him a valuable asset to Filmmore. Since January 2011, he has formed the management team of Filmmore together with Remco Mastwijk and Ben Willems. www.filmmore.nl

Film with the most successful Dutch group

FILM "ME & MR JONES" WITH LATEST SONG BY DUTCH'S MOST SUCCESSFUL GROUP WITHIN TEMPTATION Facebook friends get a mention in album artwork On Wednesday, December 15 at 11:00 AM, the Netherlands' most successful group Within Temptation will unveil the first new track from the upcoming and long-awaited concept album 'The Unforgiving', which will be released in March 2011. The new track is called 'Where Is The Edge' and will be released on the band's official website (http://www.within-temptation.com). This release coincides with the launch of a new video featuring the track. The video contains exclusive and never-before-seen footage from the film 'Me & Mr Jones', directed by director Paul Ruven. The film is a thriller inspired by the disappearance of Natalee Holloway on Aruba, the island where the film was shot. Fans who share the video on their Facebook page via an application on the Within Temptation Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/wtofficial) will be mentioned by name in the artwork of the special edition of the band's new album . The band now has more than 700,000 fans on Facebook from 48 countries. Within Temptation about the new track: 'The song 'Where Is The Edge' is based on the story of 'The Unforgiving' (a series of comics written by Steven O'Connell). There is a clear connection between the storyline of our new concept album and the thriller 'Me & Mr Jones' as they are both about mystery, murder, guilt and the lack of forgiveness." Within Temptation is considered the most successful group in the Netherlands, which is also very successful internationally. The song "In and out of love" with Within Temptation singer Sharon den Adel and Armin van Buuren had more than 70 million hits on YouTube.
