The Efteling Documentary

The Efteling

The Efteling is an amusement park and recreation complex located in Kaatsheuvel, a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant. In addition to the amusement park, the entire World of Efteling includes a theater, two hotels, and two vacation parks.

A long time ago... there was a day when I got to dress up and transform Hansel and Gretel's candy house in the Efteling with real candy for a television program! Gardens full of lollipops, walls of colored bacon and cookies, licorice for the window frames.... there was no end to it! I felt like Charlie in the Chocolate Factory! It was a program about the candy industry.

This visit was the reason for many beautiful documentaries I was allowed to make about the creation of fairy tales and attractions in the Efteling.

I couldn't believe my eyes. I met all kinds of smart and inventive figures who came up with the most ingenious solutions and creations to make the fairy tales come to life.

I continued to believe in fairy tales - even as I walked backstage.

This project has already been completed.
