Hello,
Great that you are signing up for De Filmbuddies! At De Filmbuddies, 4 young refugees are paired with 4 Dutch peers and together they work on a 4-part documentary series. In the series, the youngsters take a look into each other’s lives and search for each other’s story. During the project, you will be guided by 2 professional filmmakers from Nijmegen; Sonja Willems and Daan Jongbloed.
Are you interested in making film? Have you always wanted to be in front of the camera? Or behind it? And are you curious about your peers? De Filmbuddies might be something for you!
Everybody has a story
Everybody has a story or something that makes his or her life special. So do you! Listening to each other’s story creates more understanding and connection. For De Filmbuddies we are looking for all kinds of stories. Fun, special, sad or moving stories.
We would like to hear more about you and your story. Please fill in the registration form and upload a short video introducing yourself (max. 2 minutes).
