With great pleasure, we announce that as of this year, Dennis Cornelisse has taken over the role of Managing Director from Alex Doff (COO Banijay Benelux). This new development brings a fresh dynamic to the production company and reaffirms the determination to continuously evolve and innovate. Dennis Cornelisse, who has long been the driving force behind many successful productions (Het Gouden Uur, Anoniem, Rundfunk, Neem me Mee, Costa! de Film, De Regels van Floor), now assumes responsibility for the overall direction of NL Film.

Peter Lubbers, CEO Banijay Benelux, on Cornelisse's appointment: "Dennis is a true professional with profound knowledge of the world of films and drama series. His years of experience, track record, and human approach to leadership make Dennis the perfect candidate to have a positive and innovative impact on the creative direction of NL Film."

Furthermore, NL Film warmly welcomes the recent addition of Wynand Chocolaad, who was appointed as Head of Productions as of January 1, 2024. Wynand brings a wealth of experience, having had a successful 16-year period at NL Film followed by serving as Head of Productions at Lemming Film. His return to NL Film enriches the team and is evidence of the strong ties creative talents maintain with NL Film. In addition to overseeing all productions, his primary task is to ensure that all departments are operating at their full potential.

The appointment of Dennis as Managing Director and the arrival of Wynand as Head of Productions mark the beginning of a new phase for NL Film. Together with the passionate team, Dennis and his colleagues will tackle challenges and seize opportunities to further enhance the success of NL Film.
