A tortured soul seeks meaning in life. "The Wide Open Project" is an artistic and experimental visual album about the emerging artist Zinity. Created under self-destructive circumstances and sleepless nights, the film weaves emotion through three individually crafted songs. Together, they form a fragmented escape from the grip of depression. Through the eyes of a fragile artist, the world appears cold and indifferent. Because art is not a choice — it’s an obsession, an addiction. But how do you live with a part of yourself that you are doomed to destroy?

André Hazes: She Believes in Me

Jan 27, 2000

Portrait of the popular folk singer André Hazes. He was followed for several months by filmmaker John Appel. Love, hope, happiness, sadness, concerts, family, and fans play a major role in his life. Appel filmed Hazes during performances and business meetings, as well as at home with his family and during a vacation in Benidorm. The result is both hilarious and moving at times.
