Ring of Dreams

In a world where fantasy meets reality, Tengkwa leads a band of Dutch wrestlers and tries to train a new generation. But with slim chances of fame and glory and little money to speak off, only the most die-hard of them will succeed.

This is the second collaboration with director Willem Baptist. We tend to nerd out about the same stuff like good cooking knives, great coffeebeans, weird b-movies and 80s pop culture. So this was straight up my alley, especially because I love delving into the more surreal and imaginary sides of documentary film. Willem likes to straddle the line between the fantastical and the absurdly real in his films, but even more he absolutely loves to confuse you by not letting you know which is which. And I adore that.

Willem and I also worked on ‘Guy Weizman – Before / After‘.
