Holland Stories | Holland, Land of Castles and Country Houses (highlights)
Admire the wealth and beauty of Dutch castles and country houses. An ode to the rich country side through the ages.
Holland counts more than 700 castles, country houses and rural estates. That's a well kept secret that we would like to unveil. These typically Dutch historic houses and gardens are built bij rich merchants and nobility from the 17th and 18th century. They stem from the same wealth and prosperity like Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and Mauritshuis in The Hague. NBTC Holland Marketing selected the most attractive castle museums and castle gardens, hotels, restaurants, regions, biking and routes in the story line Castles and Country Houses. Together they tell te story of the beauty and richness of lush gardens, rich collections and famous residents and guests from the past.

Het Grootste Museum van Nederland - Campagnefilm
In het buitenland vindt iedereen het heel normaal, het bezoeken van die indrukwekkende kathedraal. Toch lopen veel mensen er in Nederland ongemerkt aan voorbij. En dat terwijl Nederlandse kerken de prachtigste kunstvoorwerpen herbergen, gemaakt door de beste kunstenaars en opgenomen in magistrale decors. Met elkaar vormen deze kerken het grootste museum van Nederland.
Wij filmden voor deze campagnefilm in 2,5 week tijd 13 kerken door heel Nederland en maakten samen met Museum Catharijneconvent en Strategisch ontwerpbureau Fabrique deze prachtige campagnefilm.

Anthropology of the Dutch: traditional farmers versus modern life in the Netherlands
On the Veluwe lives dwelling and conservative people. In the past, the people there lived completely isolated, the surrounding forest shielded the outside world. The people had to survive by ploughing through the poor sandy soils and for a good harvest the only think they could do was to pray God. Today, these people are rich and no longer depend on the soil: they are slowly letting go of the farm life. The outside world is constantly pushing for taking over, especially with the Internet, but also by going out and working outside the area. Urban problems are no longer avoidable.
Original Title: De Hokjesman - De Boeren
Fascinated by the prevailing pigeonhole spirit, the pigeonhole man goes on field research into the world of appealing Dutch subcultures. With a wink to the classical ethnologist, dressed in a three-piece suit with a bow tie, he analyzes the man as one of the animal groups.

Driving in The Netherland: Motorway A4 Amsterdam via Schiphol
It's my first time to drive in mainland Europe (from England). Driving in the opposite side is a bit of a challenge. I have to re-program my brain :) This just a segment of my 700 Km journey. I really admired the excellent quality of roads in Netherland - well maintained, so smooth to drive and easy to navigate. The road markings are so helpful.
