Producent Germen Boelens sluit zich aan bij Revolver

Former producer Corrino Drama Germen Boelens joins Revolver Amsterdam.

Film producer Germen Boelens joins Revolver Amsterdam, the production house of Raymond van der Kaaij. In recent years, both producers have produced award-winning feature films and documentaries both at home and abroad. Based on a shared ambition to produce high-quality drama that competes internationally, it was decided to join forces.

The focus will be on Dutch and English-language films and series from Dutch soil, and on international productions and co-productions. Ongoing film projects are transferred to Revolver Amsterdam, which substantially increases production capacity and volume.

The connection between the producers is obvious. Both producers emphasize: “The Netherlands has a rich culture of telling socially inspired, layered stories; in literature and in film. To put Dutch film even more firmly on the map, talented and experienced writers and directors must be properly facilitated to develop their stories. We have a strong ambition to support this, both from the Netherlands and through international cooperation. With all the new players in the market, there are now more opportunities than ever to realize distinctive films and series. By working together, we combine knowledge and experience in the Netherlands and abroad and we want to establish an even stronger and, above all, idiosyncratic production house with Revolver Amsterdam in the coming years.”

Boelens is producer of, among others, the films 'Broeders' (NFF 2017) and 'Gelukzoekers' (telefilm 2018) by Hanro Smitsman, and the children's films 'Dede: Mehmet with the yellow boots' by Tamara Miranda (Emmy nomination 2017) and ' Vrije Vogel' by Joyce van Diepen (Emmy entry NPO 2018). Boelens previously led Corrino Drama.

Van der Kaaij has produced feature films in the Netherlands such as 'Supernova' by Tamar van den Dop (Berlinale) and 'Bodkin Ras' (SXSW, IFFR), and has shown that he can achieve international connections with films such as 'I Dream in another language' (Sundance Audience Award 2017) and 'Love & Friendship' (Sundance 2016).
