Co-founder of Longship Films, director Kristjan Knigge, helmed Second Honeymoon. He also doubled as the soundman. Though it brought him as director even closer to the actors, recording on-set sound is really difficult. He hopes he did a halfway decent job so Wouter (who will be doing the sound design, mixing and music) doesn’t have too hard a time of it.

Author Marie Phillips joined the team as screenwriter. She had the most daunting task of all. To write the script within the project time period. In just two days she came wrote the full script outline, including all scenes, dialogue suggestions, the whole story. An incredible achievement.

BJ collaborated with Kristjan on his first feature film, The Right Juice, as Producer and Production Designer. And she’s his mum. So it was a pleasure and a joy that she agreed to join in the crazy venture that is a Longship Films production. And she delivered… in spades. Locations, props, cast members, wardrobe, bespoke art, and unflagging drive and enthousiasm.

Knut K. Petersen is  Norwegian steadicam operator who lives in the Algarve. Having collaborated with Kristjan and Dick before, on The Right Juice, Knut offered to join in the Longship experiment. He joined us for two days, which turned out to be our most productive days of the shoot. His unique style of operating is a fantastic storytelling tool which we put to good use.

Geerteke van Lierop is a talented actress, presenter and trainer. She brought serenity and dedication to the project, taking on the challenge, as did all the actors, of developing the character and the story as the shooting progressed. She played the role of Agnes.

Boundless enthousiasm, immense dedication to the craft, creative flair, that’s Marijtje Rutgers. Having collaborated with Kristjan just once before, on the 48 Hour Film Project short, Stiltegebied, she was instrumental in the inspiration for Longship Films. She played the role of Helen.

Jessica Mota is a young actress from Lagos studying drama in Glasgow next year. She joined the project to play a challenging role as a Lauren – call me “Lor”. She embraced the spirit of the film wholeheartedly and was wonderful in the role and fantastic to work with. She had already worked with BJ, Dick and Kristjan on their feature film, The Right Juice.

Local resident Trevor Herrington, a member of the Algarveans Experimental Theatre, accepted a role in the film. Not only did he give a stellar performance, bringing depth and breadth to a tricky to portray character, he also sings in the film: a gorgeous rendition of “My Love is Like a Red Red Rose”. He played the role of Uncle Harry.

A young editor who is racking up experience in long form for drama at a tremendous rate, Jordy cut the film. A daunting task, considering the not insignificant 11.5 hours worth of footage the team managed to shoot during the production week. Due to the manner in which the story was developed (i.e. during production) a lot of the structure and story arc was be found, or created, in the editing room.

Allard Zoetman: artist, editor, VFX composer extraordinaire. A long time collaborator of director Kristjan, Allard supervised the whole visual post-production process, from editing, through VFX, colour correction and titles. His technical expertise, coupled with his artistic vision, helped fine tune the look and feel of the final movie.

Wouter is owner and chief at MacLoud Amsterdam. He is a gifted composer and sound designer and his studio is top notch.

Talented singer/songwriter Kirsten has agreed to the use of her music in the film. During production Kristjan played her music to the cast & crew and the whole team fell in love with her music and her voice. She worked with Wouter to create and record bespoke arrangements for the film, and we think the result is fantastic.
