The company will be part of both Kaap Holland and Het Huis van Asporaat and develop and produce inclusive comedy and drama webseries with creators from all backgrounds for a Dutch audience.

It has already done work on new feature film Bon Bini Holland 3, in collaboration with Kaap Holland Film, Het Huis van Asporaat and WW Entertainment.

The new company will develop and produce projects for multiple broadcasters and platforms, it said in a statement today.

Het Huis van Asporaat, founded and owned by the brothers, and Kaap Holland have worked together previously on Bon Bini Holland, Bon Bini Holland 2 and Bon Bini: Judeska in da House, films that were big commercial hits in the Netherlands and abroad.

“Huntu Productions makes comedy and drama series for a Dutch audience. Together with the knowledge and talent of Jandino and Kenneth Asporaat we develop and produce bold projects with creators of all backgrounds, and behind the scenes we also work with people who reflect society, expressly giving opportunities to a new generation of crew membersm,” said producer Maarten Swart.

“With Huntu Productions we want to make the seemingly impossible possible,” Jandino and Kenneth Asporaat added. “We think it’s important to work from our gut feeling and to not only recognise opportunities but to use them as well. With this collaboration we are building a bridge from the current world to a new one, where there are opportunities for everyone.”
