Looking for a cameraman/woman for a vintage short film


(auto-translated from Dutch)

For my graduation project at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute (AMFI), I am looking for a cinematographer (DOP) to shoot a short, poetic fashion film: Cherish for a Lifetime.
The film (approximately 1 minute, no dialogue) tells the story of an elderly woman reflecting on her youth and the special moments of her life, all connected to a single piece of clothing she has kept her entire life. The atmosphere is romantic, vintage (1950s), and cinematic. It is part of a campaign for the sustainable brand Reformation. Emotion, light, and movement are central. (Visual reference: The Chloé Winter 2025 Campaign)

What do we offer?
• Reimbursement of travel expenses and other costs
• Creative, fun shooting day at a very unique location with actors where we work together on a beautiful film
• Of course, credits and use of the end result and images for your portfolio/social media
• Fast delivery of the edit

Type
studentenproductie

Location
Jaarsveld (provincie Utrecht)
