Dutch duo Het Huis Van Asporaat & Kaap Holland launch Huntu Productions
Dutch producer Het Huis Van Asporaat has partnered with Maarten Swart of Kaap Holland to launch label Huntu Productions.
The company, which is co-owned by Kaap Holland and Het Huis Van Asporaat, is developing and producing comedy and drama, with its first show the third instalment of the feature film series Bon Bini Holland.
Het Huis van Asporaat – founded by brothers Jandino and Kenneth Asporaat – has previously been behind TV shows including De Dino Show and Wat Een Suikerfeest! for local broadcaster NPO, as well as theater concepts and films.
Indie outfit Kaap Holland works across films, series, webseries and podcasts. It houses Kaap Holland Film, Kaap Holland Series, Wonderboys, Dead Duck Productions and Wet Blanket, and works with production companies Big Blue and Circe Films. It has been behind shows including Dunkirk, Sea Of Time and Krazy House.
“Together with the knowledge and talent of Jandino and Kenneth Asporaat, we [will] develop and produce bold projects with creators of all backgrounds, and behind the scenes we also work with people who reflect society, expressly giving opportunities to a new generation of crew members,” said Swart.
Jandino and Kenneth Asporaat added: “We think it’s important to work from our gut-feeling and to not only recognise opportunities but to use them as well. With this collaboration we are building a bridge from the current world to a new one, where there are opportunities for everyone.”
