There is still enough time this summer to plan and prepare photo or film productions in the Netherlands. Two totally different cities, Rotterdam and Amsterdam, offer a wide range of spectacular locations, while the surrounding countryside varies from never-ending grasslands with old and new windmills/turbines to wild coastal areas with beautiful dunes. Add the fine hotels, top model and casting agencies, and the large Dutch creative community and there's the ideal mix for every sort of production - and for a nice and pleasant stay in Holland. "Hope to see you soon!"
