Can you spot the cameos?

In these stills from De Klimaatstrijders (The Climate Fighters) we see the escalation in full swing: from a garden full with trees, to a square in the city centre, to a populist politician demanding more trees…what will happen next..?

We made De Klimaatstrijders for with and we got recently nominated for the , the Dutch awards for best commissioned film in the category ‘production’. And what a production it was! From turning a concrete-clad garden into as forest, from a war scene to ‘planting’ trees everywhere with CGI.

The film tells the story of a girl who wants to prevent a climate disaster and convinces her parents to offset their CO2 emissions with trees. However, they're far more than they can grow in their own garden...

De Klimaatstrijders (The Climate Fighters) is without doubt been one of our highlight projects of 2025. Here you see batch 1/3 of stills from the film. Watch the film on YouTube through the link in our bio.

De Klimaatstrijders a short fiction film we made for with and was recently nominated for the , the Dutch awards for best commissioned film in the category ‘production’. And what a production it was! From turning a concrete-clad garden into as forest, to a war scene, to ‘planting’ trees everywhere with CGI. If we take home a Gouden Reiger (Golden Heron) on March 12th, it would be the second time with a project we did together with Andy...Fingers crossed…

The film tells the story of a girl who wants to prevent a climate disaster and convinces her parents to offset their CO2 emissions with trees. However, they're far more than they can grow in their own garden...

How many trees would we need if we wanted to offset our carbon emissions?

Together with Andy van den Dobbelsteen of TU Delft, we made De Klimaatstrijders, a short comedy film that tells the story of an ordinary Dutch family who sets out to compensate their emissions by planting trees. A lot of trees... so many trees in fact that they soon run into the limit of space for these trees, leading to unanticipated events...

You can watch the full film on YouTube (link in first comment!)
