FELIX’ SUMMER BOX
short / 2020 / NL CAN
Production: Zero Landscape
Directed and Written: Martijn Rijnberg
Music: Vincent Fournier-Boisvert
“As an assignment for the parents, our daycare asked us to collect all objects that were important for our 3-year old son during the summer holiday and put them in a shoebox. These so-called summer boxes were used as an aid for the children to help them to vividly relate in the group about their experiences during the summer. I was thinking about a way to bring this box of objects alive in a film and to find a way to have the audience feel the emotions my son had during his holiday. As this idea grew, I contacted musician Vincent Fournier-Boisvert and asked if I could use his beautiful song ‘Un Mois de Bois Mort’ of the album ‘Mon Coeur est une Arme’ for this purpose. Being a side project, I have filmed this in a year or so, picking it up once in a while. It took patience creating the macro shots and seeing how the footage could be best combined with Vincents song. I loved to do the project, as I could do some of the stuff with my son, and it was always nice to see how the film slowly grew.”

RICHARD
short / 2018 / NL UK
Production: Zero Landscape
Directed and Written: Martijn Rijnberg
Music and Sound Design: Roly Porter
Cast: Leon Herbert
To promote the novel 'Richard', director Martijn Rijnberg, musician Roly Porter, and actor Leon Herbert (Alien 3) joined forces to create a teaser that shows what the mind is capable of and how you can be caught up in your story. Roly Porter created a unique musical composition that together with Leon Herberts voice guides the viewer through a short existential journey. The novel tells the autobiographical story of the author M.M. Visser, in which her past experiences keep her from having a life of love. A bit like taking the red pill in The Matrix, she discovers that everything she believes in and stands for, is nothing more than a story to keep her going.

GONNA STOP KILLING
Music video / 2015 / NL us
"Gonna Stop Killing" from the album 'Boy' by Carla Bozulich
Out now on Constellation Records:

carlabozulich.com
Performed by: Carla Bozulich, Andrea Belfi and John Eichenseer
Directed and Written: Zero Landscape
Cast: Steven Lucke, Roy
PROMONEWS:
“Solemn yet beautifully shot, Martijn Rijnberg's video for Gonna Stop Killing by American singer Carla Bozulich is directly inspired from the song's lyrics. It explores a turning point in the existence of a hitman as he is retiring from his profession and ready to embrace a new life.
Some stylistic choices, such as the dark, earthy colour palette and the high-contrast shots - making for some blinding lights and morbid blacks - serve to drive the all-encompassing bleakness throughout. The wide, coffin-like dimensions of the video keep us close to the ground - and by allowing little space above the man's head- achieves a cloistered, claustrophobic effect.
It features Steven Lucke as the hitman – and a special mention goes to his close friend Roy, the senior parakeet.”
