Scheepsrecht is a historical coming-of-age drama and HKU graduation film about Marja Idzinga, the first female student at the Rotterdam Maritime Academy in 1970. While the outside world sees her as a symbol of emancipation, Marja primarily tries to follow her dream: sailing, just like everyone else.

The film features both intimate scenes and filming in ship and harbor settings. A strong film treatment (work in progress) and a motivated core crew are ready; we are now seeking a producer to take this project further.

About the director
I'm Floor van Lent, a fourth-year Directing Fiction student at HKU University of the Arts Utrecht. My work focuses on stories about identity, emancipation, and human growth. With Scheepsrecht, I want to tell a true story that's moving, inspiring, and relatable to anyone trying to find their place.

What do we offer?
- A strong and distinctive HKU graduation project with historical and artistic depth.

- A motivated, professional core crew (DOP, sound designer, composer, dramaturge, co-writer) ready to build together.

- A clear direction and treatment (work in process) so that you can immediately enter a structured working method.

- The opportunity to gain experience in producing a film with a historical setting and realistic design.

- Creative freedom and space to participate in shaping the form, approach, and production content.

- A pleasant, open and enthusiastic working atmosphere in which development, cooperation and fun are central.

A valuable addition to your portfolio, including visibility of the final result at the HKU final exam and festivals.
