Een korte informatieve video voor het Kenniscentrum Horeca
Invloed op elkaars handelen
Als horecaondernemer sta je er niet alleen voor. In jouw stad heb je bijvoorbeeld te maken met andere horecaondernemers. Ook de gemeente is bepalend. En heb je er wel eens aan gedacht dat ook culturele instellingen invloed kunnen hebben op jouw succes? Wat gebeurt er als die partijen met elkaar gaan samenwerken? Dan ontstaan er leuke, lucratieve acties. Leuk voor de gast en winstgevend voor jouw horecaonderneming, maar ook de andere partijen varen er wel bij!
Delft in beeld
In Delft is er een half jaar geleden zo’n samenwerking ontstaan. Daar bedachten ze een gezamenlijke actie om meer gasten en/of klanten te trekken. En zoals je in het filmpje kan zien en horen, met succes! Bedrijfschap Horeca helpt hen daarbij door cijfers te vergelijken. Ook voor jouw onderneming kan dat handig zijn. De Bedrijfsvergelijking helpt je hiermee. (Bron: http://www.kenniscentrumhoreca.nl)
All (first year) English Poetry students at the Free University in Amsterdam, got the assignment to creatively ”adopt a poem”. My sister Iris Dekker decided to make a video of the poem ‘Subway’, written by the Canadian poet Paul Hartal. This is her own interpretation of the poem, filmed by me. The scripting and editing credits go to my sister.
He saw her at the subway station
Standing on the platform waiting for the train.
Inside the car they sat in front of each other.
She was quite young.
Though not strikingly pretty
She was good looking and attractive
And he liked her back-combed black hair.
It was long and lustrous and gathered into a chignon
And softened with a purple satin ribbon
That matched her elegant blue dress.
She wore high heeled black shoes
And her ivory skin shone on her comely legs.
The train moved and stopped
And moved again
At the stations the doors opened and closed
And people streamed out and in.
She sat quietly in her seat
And then opened her purse
And pulled out a candy
Wrapped in golden paper.
She removed carefully the wrapping
Put the candy slowly into her mouth
And then folded neatly the paper
And put it back into her purse.
He watched her discretely for a short while
And then closed his eyes
And when he opened them he saw
That she cast a timid glance looking at him.
He liked her.
He wanted to start a conversation with her
But somehow it just did not seem appropriate
To address a complete stranger on a train
And besides he was afraid to say something silly.
So he remained silent.
He wanted to say something to her
But he did not have the courage.
And then suddenly he panicked
Because he realized that he cannot speak
That he cannot pass through the invisible barrier
That extended between them
That despite her presence
He cannot reach out to her
That he is unable to have her in his life
And that they soon will get off the train
And he probably never will see her again.
The car wheels
Kept clacking and rattling over the rails
And they both sat silently on their seats
Two lonely islands in a withdrawn crowd.
Then the subway pulled into a station
And it was time to alight from the car.
Without saying a word
He walked through the door
And across the car window he saw her.
She was looking at him.
The train began to move slowly
Along the platform of the station
A moving image melting away
Like an ice dragon in the heat of summer.
In a few seconds it vanished
Into the thin air through the dark mouth
Of the subway tunnel.
Jos & Kees Producties
Promotion vid’s and so much more!
With my friend and now business partner Lotte Debeij, I started a production company called Jos & Kees Producties (Productions). Right now we keep ourselves busy with promotion vid’s and trailers. But our future goal is to create more in depth and unique storytelling video’s, series or even documentaries.

Promotion vid’s and so much more!
For the Dutch opera performance of Orfeo ed Euridice – in the royal pont of Palace Soestdijk- we put together two video’s. Both video’s give you a view of what goes on behind the scene’s.
The northern region of Iraq, Kurdistan, is contaminated with many explosive remnants of war and thousands of minefields. In former times many villagers cleared mines themselves, Hoshiyar Ali (47) being one of them. Today there are specialized de-mining organizations that are responsible for clearing the region. However, Hoshiyar is one of the few that refuses to give up his life task: clearing mines. Even after losing both his legs due to mine-explosions. This is the story of a struggle involving patriotism and hidden dangers.
During the shooting for our documentary about landmines in Kurdistan, we decided to take a little break. Don’t forget…it was New Years Eve…or better…Newroz.
We did the filming with a small and extremely awesome camera (the Hero Cam Pro) on my head, Zilemo her head…and the head of a unknown Kurd who was in the midst of the celebrating.
The celebration was in the city of Slemani, Kurdistan.
