Cannes Contenders: Netherlands
Erik Mertens, Producer at Holy Fools Amsterdam, looks at accidental felons and funky felines as he examines the work from the Netherlands that could hit big in Cannes.
Young Capital Whatever Works. Work
In this commercial, HERC focuses on 'everything needed to earn money'. In doing so they have looked closely at what is going on among young people; not only at crypto but also at selling your body or robbing banks, the last two with a wink, of course. But it's bold and refreshing to push the boundaries like that in an ad. Works for me!

OHRA Mafia
This almost feels like a short film, but a very short film. It's wonderful to go all out with these kind of doom scenarios and exaggerate like they do in Hollywood. In my view, our director, Jelle de Jonge, has worked out this great script very well. The fact that it belongs to an insurance company is almost a nice twist in this story.

KPN Cat
Cats have been a hit on the internet for years, and I think they will remain so for years to come. Personally, I can't resist the high cuteness level in combination with the wonderful soundtrack. And I wasn't the only one. The movie went viral on TikTok and people are making all kinds of parodies of it. Super-smart from dentsuACHTUNG! Because that's what you want as a brand, right? The song has been stuck in my head for weeks. No joke.

VanMoof The Future is Forwards
A beautifully shot commercial with enormous production values. Everyone finds themselves in an almost dire situation that they seem to be stuck in. This makes the lady on the VanMoof feel huge relief as she's her floating through the streets on her blue bicycle, which stands out nice and fresh against the rest. It really gives a positive view on the alternative mode of transport. Beautiful piece of work by Halal Amsterdam.

G-Star RAW Wear Your Denim Till the End
Finally, deepfake in a commercial! Love how a leading jeans brand is already using technology to reach their 2030 goal of only using biodegradable materials.
Each stage of the use of trousers has its own look. In this human story it becomes clear to embrace that look that changes, just like the change of your own body. A wonderful goal.
