Post-production company Filmmore opens branch in Belgium

Hans van Helden, Director of Filmmore Brussels

The Amsterdam-based post-production company Filmmore is opening a branch in Belgium as of January 2011. Filmmore Brussels focuses on the post-production and visual effects of Dutch, Belgian, and French feature films, television series, and documentaries. With the new branch, Filmmore aims to take a first step towards an international network for facilitating large-scale international productions. Post-production and visual effects supervisor Hans van Helden will take charge of the Belgian branch.

Filmmore
Filmmore started in Amsterdam in 2006 as a full-service post-production company specializing in feature films, television dramas, and documentaries. Filmmore has since grown into the market leader in this field.

International ambition
Filmmore's ambition is to enter into national and international partnerships in the coming years and to establish post-production companies in various countries under the Filmmore brand name. The intention is to allow these companies to operate independently with their own employees and knowledge of their home market. Technically and operationally, these companies work within the same structure as Filmmore Amsterdam, enabling it – by making use of fast
networking – making it possible to collaborate on major international projects. With the new branch, Filmmore also aims to be the point of contact for Dutch producers who make use of the Belgian Tax Shelter for feature films.

Hans van Helden (1973), who graduated as a film editor from the Netherlands Film and Television Academy in 1997, has worked for more than thirteen years as a post-production and visual effects supervisor for feature films and documentaries. He has worked on over thirty national and international feature films and was responsible for the visual effects in, among others, Zwartboek, Oorlogswinter, IEP!, and the stereoscopic film Amphibious 3D. Van Helden possesses an extensive international network, making him a valuable asset to Filmmore. Since January 2011, he has formed the management team of Filmmore together with Remco Mastwijk and Ben Willems.
