MORE ABOUT MADELIEF

As a young child Madelief started acting on set. After she played in several projects (Feuten, De Vliegenierster van Kazbek, De Daltons), she started her own casting agency Jut&Jul Casting. Her casting agency is only for children and young actors till the age of 20. She loves when everything comes together after a casting period. 
To find young talent is always a challenge. But next to the big challenge she finds it's so much fun to work with children and young actors. 
Jut&Jul Casting is one of the biggest children casting agency’s and is based in Amsterdam. They have cast for example Zenith, De regels van Floor, Eng, Van God Los, Kasper en de Kerstengelen (Children Emmy Award winner 2017), 100% Coco and many other projects. This year they will cast some young actors from other countries for a new movie. That will be a new chapter for Jut&Jul Casting.
