BESTEMMING BEREIKT is a raw, visually driven psychological thriller exploring the chaotic bond between two Gen Z friends—Arman, a self-destructive addict, and Ali, a conflicted young man torn between loyalty and self-preservation. Their drug-fueled night spirals into paranoia, hallucination, and a violent reckoning with reality.


Based on true fractures in the Gen Z psyche, Bestemming Bereikt asks what happens when the drugs wear off but the damage remains.

The script, shot list, scene breakdown are ready.

Description
We’re Looking For a DOP Who:
Has experience with low-light/night shoots and can balance realism with stylized visuals.

Can execute driving scenes safely and effectively (prior work with car mounts or dash cams is a plus).

Owns or has access to equipment (e.g, gimbals, portable lighting).

Strong understanding of lighting, composition, and camera movement

A keen eye for visual storytelling and mood

Thrives in collaborative, fast-paced indie shoots (3-5 days).

Understands the Gen Z aesthetic: raw, immediate, and emotionally unfiltered.

Key Challenges:

Nighttime Cinematography: 70% of the film takes place at night, requiring creative artificial lighting (streetlights, car interiors, practicals) to craft a haunting, cinematic look.

Driving Scenes: Dynamic day/night car sequences (mounted rigs, poor man's process or guerrilla solutions).

Visual Style:

Gritty night scenes, moody nighttime cinematography (70% of the film)

Driving shots (day & night)

Think Good Time if it OD'd on Dutch nihilism
