BROODJE AAP (2023)

Still from 'Gedrogeerde Ouders?', episode 6 of Broodje Aap. It is an over the shoulder shot of two teenaged girls, one Black and one white, in hip 'going out' clothing. They are looking shocked at the two people we are looking over the shoulder from; two Black adults.

Still from 'Game Over', episode 5 of Broodje Aap. It's a medium shot of a Black family standing at a desk in a holiday park reception. From left to right: the mother, with a big head of curls and a red scarf; the teenaged son with a graphic t-shirt, jacket and headphones around his neck; the father, with a yellow-brownish jacket and body warmer. The mother and son are smiling, the father has his eyebrows raised in a questioning manner.

Still from 'Bizarre Date', episode 14 of Broodje Aap. It's a POV from within a toilet bowl. The foreground has some blurry toiletpapier. Hanging above the toiletbowl, looking at each other, are two teenagers (one asian boy with dark hair and thick rimmed sunglasses, and one white girl with brown hair in two pigtails).

Still from 'Telefoonstalker', episode 13 of Broodje Aap. It's a medium shot of a Black teenaged guy, with braids and a purple hoodie, sitting behind a couch. He's holding his phone and looking anxiously over his shoulder. The room is dark.

Still from 'Oppassen...', episode 8 of Broodje Aap. It's a wide shot of a teenaged girl standing in the middle of the living room of an old house. The lighting is moody and dark, and the girl is looking up at a big chandelier in the middle of the room. The vibe is creepy.

Still from 'Terror Zusje', episode 12 of Broodje Aap. It's a medium shot of a teenaged boy leaning on something off-screen in the middle of a grocery store. He has shoulder length light brown hair, a blue t-shirt and light blue hoodie and is looking bored, to the left.

Broodje Aap (Urban Legend) is a children’s web series for Zapp’s YouTube channel. It’s an anthology series with 8 different directors spanning 15 episodes. Every episode has a different story, a different cast and a different genre. I was the editor for 6 out of the 15 episodes; Game Over (dir. Anne de Blok), Gedrogeerde Ouders?, Terror Zusje (dir. Eva Heijnen), Telefoonstalker, Bizarre Date (dir. Rosa Meijer) and Oppassen… (dir. Niek Roozen).

In times of fake news, it is important to keep a critical eye on anything you see or read on the internet. In Broodje Aap we tell the most bizarre, thrilling, weird and nasty stories. Did this really happen, or are we watching an Urban Legend? That’s for the viewer to find out!
