Rogier van der Zwaag, filmmaker and visual artist in Amsterdam: “I have been honored with the opportunity to make the title sequence of this year’s Playground Blend Festival.

“The kind people of the organization gave me the freedom to create what I wanted, and I used the opportunity to go on the road for a while, and start experimenting on new things.

“I ended up in Normandy, where I found the scenery that became the canvas for this film. It has been a great experience, and I want to thank everyone involved that helped me out, including during a postproduction process that got a bit out of hand.”
