Today I welcome back filmmaker Bastiaan Rook to the show. We dive into Bastiaan's latest film, Citroen, a captivating project translated as "Lemon" in English. The film flips the typical cult narrative on its head, offering a fresh perspective that challenges the norm.

We explore the logistics of shooting with a modest budget and the creative freedom it allows, resulting in a film that feels both spontaneous and authentic.

The episode provides insights into the casting process, highlighting the chemistry among the actors, many of whom were recent graduates or still studying. Bastiaan reflects on the rewarding experience of working with emerging talent and the film's success, including winning the audience award at a graduation film event.

Thanks for listening!
