HEADS TOGETHER
A surreal story about three friends who exchange heads by accident and are forced to adapt to each other's life. This leads to funny but also enriching situations. Will they be able to keep it secret? And will they ever get their own head back?
Directed by Job, Joris & Marieke. As they said in a recent Vimeo interview:
“For this project we were inspired by the headless horseman from the movie Sleepy Hollow. It’s a very spooky character in this film, but we thought it would be really funny to make a short film in which the main character would have no head without there being a specific reason for it. Just a headless character amongst normal people. But Kop Op was made as part of the ‘Now or Never’ competition, and that competition came with some conditions. The idea of this competition was to have filmmakers work with the theme ‘multicultural society’ and the target group was kids between 8 and 12 years. So we had to find a way to combine our headless character idea with the multicultural society theme. And that is how we ended up with the concept of three friends exchanging heads.”
