The short film Den Doodendraad is a period drama.
The film is set around the Death Wire, an electronic border barrier between the Netherlands and the then occupied Belgium during the First World War. An often forgotten piece of Dutch history that we want to pay more attention to in these times of unrest and controversy around borders.

Logline: In the bleak landscape of the First World War, a simple Dutch farmer struggles with moral dilemmas in the border area. Only the Death Wire behind his farm, a deadly electronic border barrier, separates his peaceful life in neutral Netherlands from occupied Belgium.

What do we offer?
Den Doodendraad is an independent production made with minimal support by a collective of driven and professional filmmakers.
We take extra care of cast and crew from catering to overnight stays. Due to the nature of the production, we can't offer more than an expense allowance.
The role brings the opportunity to act in a historical film where the world, from the shooting location to the uniform, is period correct.
You contribute to the creation of a unique project that has never been so central to the social theme of migration.
During production several photos will be taken which, in combination with social media and later stills, will offer unique portfolio value.
