The new Dutch action thriller 'Full Moon' from NL Film was shot in Thailand

Recently, filming in Thailand has been completed for the Dutch action thriller Full Moon, the very first Dutch film entirely shot in Thailand. The film is produced by NL Film and is expected to be released in Dutch cinemas via distributor Searchers in early 2025.

In Full Moon, four friends in their thirties let loose for one last time during a Thai vacation filled with sex, drugs, and parties. When the body of a young woman washes ashore after a wild 'Full Moon Party', the four best friends become the prime suspects. What was supposed to be a carefree party vacation quickly turns into a gruesome nightmare. The four lead roles are portrayed by Yannick Jozefzoon (Femi, Santos), Kay Greidanus (Just Like in the Movies, Commando’s), Matthijs van de Sande Bakhuyzen (The Heir, Billy the Kid), and Joep Paddenburg (Jippie No More!, Contrary).

Brian De Vore (SpangaS, Misfit: The Series, Costa!! the series) wrote the screenplay. Full Moon is directed by David Cocheret (The Slut from 6VWO, SpangaS).

Dennis Cornelisse, Managing Director and Producer at NL Film: "Full Moon is a special project. The film is entirely shot in Thailand with a Thai and Dutch crew under challenging conditions. Additionally, the film combines various genres from bromance to action thriller, making it a broadly appealing and valuable addition to our portfolio and to Dutch cinema."

David Cocheret, director of Full Moon: "A full month of shooting in Thailand was an unforgettable experience that I wouldn't have wanted to miss. Despite the differences between Dutch and Thai culture - such as the necessary blessing of the set by a monk for the Thai crew - we found a common language in the film. I am proud of the crew and look forward to the result."

Full Moon is produced by NL Film and is made possible in part by the Netherlands Film Production Incentive, Searchers, and Prime Video. The film is currently in the post-production phase and will be released in Dutch cinemas in 2025.
