Four short films in production!

It has been a busy summer at Associate Directors with four short documentaries on the table! 

The proven concept of Ket&Doc provided five really strong idea's again this year. We will be working with Liesbeth De Mey to produce her short children's documentary about a young boxing girl.

As part of their Scienceville program, for the first time at Docville festival, a professional jury chose from a selection of eight film proposals two winning idea's to make two short documentaries based on scientific research. Associate Directors is producing both films, Testerep directed by Vincent Langouche, and Coral City by Charlotte De Cort and Camille Ghekiere.

Camille Ghekiere will also be working with us on her VAF supported documentary Simeon, about a 20-year-old boy from the Dominican Republic who will be starting an internship in a Flemish nursing home. 

Four beautiful projects we are looking forward to introducing to the world in 2024.
