Een persbericht rond de nieuwe projecten van het Amsterdamse productiehuis The Content Factory leert ons opnieuw dat steevast je eigen ding blijven doen vroeg of laat serieuze vruchten zal afwerpen. Waar het Nederlandse productiehuis voordien zich bezighield met toch wat meer bescheiden projecten zoals kortfilms, commercials en allerhande events, ziet de toekomst er sinds kort bijzonder rooskleurig uit. The Content Factory vertoonde twee films tijdens het 63ste filmfestival van Cannes, namelijk de internationele thriller Life is an Art(***), met Alison Carroll en Vincent van Ommen, en de ambitieuze Vlaamse kortfilm Final Move: Demon Games(****), in een regie van Arne Keustermans. En dit heeft hen – zoals u even verder kan lezen – duidelijk geen windeieren gelegd!

Wat volgt is het originele persbericht:
