## Trapezium: a personal feature film project

Trapezium is a feature film I've been trying to make for years. I'll keep updating this page, so you can follow how the project is coming along.

### The story

New Year's Eve in Amsterdam. Two couples who are friends go out to dinner at Trapezium, a circus-themed restaurant. At the table everyone tells what happened this year, and no two versions are the same. A comic whodunit full of misunderstandings, half-truths and flat-out lies.

I wrote the first version of the script at the end of 2013. In 2019 it almost became a real Dutch feature film, with well-known actors and money from the Netherlands Film Fund. Until the distributor pulled out.

So now I'm making the film myself, with an app I'm building specifically for making AI films. You can follow along here.
