Get ready to watch two exceptional short films straight from our official selection! Each film will be followed by an exclusive interview with the talented teams behind them.
We’re really happy to welcome Jon Karthaus to Shortcutz Amsterdam on June 2.
Jon is a filmmaker, screenwriter and producer who has built an impressive career both in front of and behind the camera. After first becoming known to many audiences through Zoop, he went on to direct and produce successful films and series including Bon Bini Holland 2, Costa!!, Homies, The Dadchelor and Fijn Weekend.
Most recently, Jon has been behind Kees Flodder, the highly anticipated reboot of one of the most iconic Dutch franchises. The series quickly became the number-one title on Videoland, introducing the beloved Flodder universe to a new generation while carrying the expectations of longtime fans.
He’ll join us to talk about the challenge of breathing new life into a well-known IP, balancing nostalgia with fresh ideas, and the responsibility that comes with reimagining a Dutch classic for today's audience. ✨
