We are thrilled to welcome the HALAL team as special guests!

Their films include PRINS, NEW KIDS, and KING OF THE CRUISE, but they have also worked with MADONNA, TKA WINGS, and brands such as G-Star and Nike, to only name a few.

Halal's list of directors includes some of the best talents of the new generation, and what director wouldn't like to be part of it?

We will welcome the HALAL team: GIJS DETERMEIJER (Commissioned, Co-Founder), GUUSJE VAN DEUREN (Head of Scripted) and some of their directors: MARLIES VAN DER WEL (Emily), and THESSA MEIJER (The Walking Fish).
