Penoza-maker Diederik van Rooijen, has a children’s television series created. With the Vampires in the night, the director is something of an epic to drop, and children’s seriously.

“A children’s television series, access I am not going to be a series for grown-ups. Of course, it is not gory, and if you go otherwise, schrikmomenten, but I think it’s important for children just as seriously as their father and mother. I don’t want a child of television as it was, I don’t like to look at the age of ten. Then I noticed the tension, and something scary on the tv. When I was a kid, I would have this series, or would like to see, and now look, I had a lot of fun to this,” says the director and screenwriter, in conversation with NU.nl.

the Vampires in the night tells the story of five feuding vampierfamilies that need to come together in order to survive. The English-language series is a production staff and actors from all over Europe, and the shooting locations in Croatia, latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden. But the entire corporation is also working together with the Penoza-actress, Monic Hendrickx, Anna Driver, and Benja Bruijning, have a role in that.

“You will be challenged and may be thinking’ < / p> It the actress Sallie Harmsen, who, in the last few years, a lot of work abroad, have a role to play in the series. With the cooperation Of the entire corporation was not a prerequisite to saying yes. “I’ve always wanted to be with him and want to work with, and I know Monic is pretty good, and that’s always very positive about him. You will be due to Him being challenged and I am looking for a role in this. You may be thinking, you can always try something different.”

The actress adapts her way of working is not for children, it is just a matter. “The series is appropriate for children because it is taken into account, the story, the way you do the things in the picture, it brings. However, I’m living me in the same way as it always has. I am trying to find out why my character, Tonka, certain things are done, teaching me her ways. If I would go and do it because I think it is for kids to make, I would let them be as serious about it as adults. I don’t want that.”

They take their jobs as seriously as their adult counterparts, so it is Of the entire corporation, but he was more surprised. “Eleven children and worked as a 108-day with us on this project. You will have a family, and you learn to know each other pretty well. And even then, they might me surprised: children sometimes have such a different reaction than you might expect. It is a kind of gift, to the end user.”

the Vampires in the night, or the Host of the Night, as the series is internationally, known, wanted the entire corporation for something “epic” drop. “I’ve always wanted to do something with this music genre would like to do, and that I am now on such a scale are allowed to do that, and I think it’s really great. The ambitions are very big, and I’ve been in the assembly for the second season. There is a great deal of confidence in it, that is nice to work with.”
