As a third facet, he mentions fellow villager Jan Drent: “I got to know it as a child, he had a film company. He has it at the time The possessed village Also made with us and he took me into the film trade. “
After the MAVO and IT training, Jasper ten Hoor thought he could make the step to the Film Academy in Amsterdam, but it went a little differently. “Six people are hired there every year. I arrive there as a young boy, I had zero life experience. You had to indicate which books you read about the profession. I had read one thin book; Film making for beginners. I understand 100 percent that they said that I first had to gain some more experience. “
Not a Film Academy, but through the Hogeschool of the Arts in Utrecht, the Drenthe filmmaker ends up where he wants to be. “I am now a film director,” says Ten Hoor proudly. But by Hallowiebe He is also responsible for assembly and script. “It has been made with a very small team anyway. You cannot escape that you also have to hold multiple functions. I really like that.”
The idea for the Halloween film was created a year and a half ago. “When Amusement Park Toverland agreed, the ball started rolling very quickly and now the film can be seen,” says Jasper ten Hoor in Cassata. According to him, the film is for children from the age of six. “It is a bit exciting, but not very scary. With co-maker Ivan I have a kind of shared love for horror. We mainly made short films in it. But now we wanted to make something for the whole family. Let’s not make it too scary, children are allowed to be awake one night, not three,” says Ten Hoor with a wink.
Last week the film premiered in the presence of six hundred guests, an exciting moment for Ten Hoor, but according to him, the real tension is only now, now that the movie is playing in the cinemas: “How is the movie going to do? Are people going to go there? Do people like it? And we will continue to be fun? And then the Hallohoe is also going to go to films.”
Anyone who also takes the trouble to view the credits after the film will see on the big screen: in memory of Liam ten Hoor. “At the time of the recordings, my wife was pregnant and just after those recordings our son was born dead after just over twenty weeks. So I thought it was very nice to have his name somewhere.” That name is therefore with the first big film by the father Jasper ten Hoor: “That feels very beautiful and extra special.”
