Hollands Hoop is an awesome Dutch Drama Series by Frankie Ribbens and Dana Nechushtan for BNN-VARA.
Forensic psychiatrist Fokke Augustinus makes an unexpected career change when he inherits his father’s mansion in Groningen where he becomes involved with a criminal organization with a marijuana plantation on his father’s land.
I had the pleasure designing the Title sequence and many more items for the series like the posters for season 3, the final season.

Thanks to all cast and crew
Dana (the director) was blown away by the work of Ivan Bilibin, a Russian illustrator around 1900. His old Russian Fairytale Style is atmospheric and dark and could work very well with presenting the main characters of Hollands Hoop. It’s a little bit of a mix between Jugendstil and Tarot cards.
I’ve never worked in that style, so it was a big challenge to achieve that same sinister feeling in the posters.
Dana & Bert (DOP) photographed all characters in front of a greenscreen. With these photographs I designed the rest of the scene.
I’m so happy with the results of the 5 posters. Thanks so much Dana, for keeping me sharp and pushing my boundaries. 😀
