Private Project

Valentine

Valentine post cards, a text message and a home delivered parcel are confusing ingredients at the breakfast table of a 50+ couple, leading to an uneasy coincidental meeting at a supermarket.

Director Biography - Dan Bekker

Born 1955 in The Netherlands. Started with school mates in the seventies on 8mm and Super 8 as amateurs. Developed skills mainly through learning-on-the-job (camera, sound, light) and self education (a.o. Sergej Eisensteins "Lessons in Directing", Eugene Vale's the Technique of Screenplay Writing). Made various succesful and award winning 16mm movies as cameraman, director, screenplay writer and/or editor in the nineties as member of the BLEPO filmgroup. Switched his career to civil engineering until 2016, meanwhile making some documentaries. Now back in moviemaking, partly with old friends. Working on a feature film.
