Research & Script advice Kees Colenbrander

Kees Colenbrander is the maker of various documentaries and countless reports, mainly for the Public Broadcasting of the Netherlands. Quickly becoming familiar with new worlds and the people who populate it is an important force. With careful consideration, a premiere or broadcast does not become a farewell to a theme to which the makers have committed themselves, but the beginning of the sequel. They are helped in this by the new media.
Kees is an outspoken connector of people and organizations that need each other for that sequel.
