It costs you nothing. If the project gets off the ground, the producer receives a producer fee (percentage) on the budget or his hours that are included in the budget.

Have you just graduated or are you unsure whether your previous work is relevant to apply for the open call? Give it the benefit of the doubt! If it is too early for a collaboration, producer Julian Klop will be happy to give you tips on how to still develop your idea yourself with other parties.

It's your idea, we're here to help you realize it. We want you to further develop your directorial vision, creative skills and substantive talents. Trying things out or deviating from your idea is part of that. Everything is done in consultation, but you will always retain your freedom in your work.

Even if you don't want to direct, you are welcome! For example, are you a researcher/interviewer? Then we will find a team including a director that suits you.

We work with directors who live at home and abroad, so you can apply if you live abroad.

Yes, you can exclude certain broadcasters at the NPO, commercial broadcasters or streaming services. The producer will not knock on their door with the project plan. Dochuis only excludes the broadcaster Ongehoord Nederland.

You can send multiple ideas. We can always - in the introductory meeting - see together which idea stands out for both of us.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to participate in the open call without an idea. Your idea says something about your creative vision, your interests and your ambition. Do you have no idea yet but would you like to get in touch? Send producer Julian Klop an email with your CV.

You will be paid market-conform for your work as director or maker of your production. If the plan is given the green light by broadcasters and/or funds, we will start the development and later the realization, where you will be paid market comfort for your services based on the number of days you work on the project, plus travel expenses.

We will not start working on the film plans that we receive without the maker. It is always possible that we are working on a certain theme, but we will always indicate this when you respond to the open call. Only the producer will see your film plan.

We are looking for social-societal stories. Issues that many people are victims of or have to deal with. A good story never stands alone, so show in your plan how many people (in the Netherlands) are struggling with the problem you want to address.

We conclude a letter of intent stating that we intend to work together. That gives the producer the right to go to broadcasters and funds with the film plan. If the pitching and financing are successful, we conclude a contract of assignment with which we make the collaboration definitive. If the financing and pitching do not produce the desired results, we will look together at what to do next.
