Small the new Big, the manifest commercial we made for sustainable bank Triodos won a SAN Accent, a Silver Esprix and a Silver Lamp.

Today I met one of the most impressive creatures I have ever seen. A moose.

Together we made a walk on the beach to celebrate my 33th birthday. What a present!

Honoured that Sevilla has been chosen in the top 10 video’s of 2014 on VIMEO. Check out the full list here.

Sweet words from Vimeo curator Ian Durkin:
‘Bram Schouw plops us down into the passenger seat of a life-changing road trip in his short film “Sevilla.” As a viewer, you both see and feel the intricacies of the characters’ friendships — and you want to be a part of them. What’s more, the film lets you. Through the beautiful warmth and nostalgic tones of the 16mm film, you watch as the best trip you’ve ever seen unfolds. The love between the characters feels real, and the loss really wallops you, so much so that it might change you forever. If only for the better.’

Last week Sevilla won the audience award during the Festival for European Shorts in Bordeaux. A day earlier it won the third prize during the BE Film Festival in New York.

Since its international premiere in Clermont-Ferrand Sevilla is traveling around the world at more than 90 international film festivals. Previously it won the Golden Calf during the Dutch Film Festival and the Grand Prize at the Altkirch Film Festival 2013.

Very happy and honoured to have won the Golden Calf at The Netherlands Film Festival. An award shared with all the friends we made the film with. Check out my brother Jesse watching the award ceremony at our parents home in The Hague.
