That's It!
Director
In 1980 film writer Ruud den Drijver goes head to head with two notorious Dutch film directors, Paul Verhoeven and Wim Verstappen, passionate film makers, competitors and colleagues in a free for all heated discussion ranging (among other subjects) from oral sex to the art of motion pictures. 25 years later the confrontation is continued during the Cannes Film Festival. In the meantime Wim Verstappen has died a year earlier and Paul Verhoeven has returned from a brilliant career in the States. Paul is still very outspoken. He talks freely about the present-day neo-conservative policies of America, and about the situation in Hollywood and his work. THAT'S IT!!(English title)(1980-2005) is a retrospective view on the careers of two driven film directors and is a hilarious time document larded with passionate statements.
Don't Catch My Face
Producer
People. Young and old, fat and thin, black and white. Sand, sea, wind and clouds, a day at the beach. In the background, the decor of ships entering and leaving port. Ego and vanity, machismo, insecurity and unconditional love, brought together on a small stretch of land. Don't Catch My Face is an ode to life.

The story of the cultural life in Rotterdam around 1980. In particular, the punk scene does not go unnoticed. The television broadcasting (VPRO) during that time led to strong reactions and severe criticism. Now it is a unique document of a turbulent time, with a direct movie style.
