Film Set
In May of 2005 I designed and built a film set for a
low budget independent short film that was featured at the“Parade”,
a theater and film festival that travels across the Netherlands and a
few other cities in Europe. The commission was to create a space that
would make the actor appear very tall, and also create a sense of a carnival
and prison atmosphere.The film, Entitled “Freak“, is about
12 minutes long and is viewed from within the “syntheseseur”
a kind of traveling theater which moves and shakes as part of the film
experience. The film is a production of the Stichting Zuiderlicht and
was directed by Ton van Erp. The filmmakers produced an excellent film
and the design was successful in meeting the goals of the creative team.
The set was built near Rotterdam over a period of several weeks with substantial
assistance from Jan van Nieuwehuize as well as Carla Leurs and Gitta Fleuren.
The set was disassembled and is being used as a stage set for a live theater
piece of the same production.
