The author's note
This movie is primarily a present for my childhoodfriends. When I was twelve years old, I already loved cinematography, and decided to shoot a movie with my classmates, in a nearby forest. I scribbled a script on a piece of paper when I was in class, and we bought military costumes and toy guns which didn’t look real at all. With the money we had been saving, we managed to make my first movie. Today, with “Dutch”, I wanted to remember this first project and also pay tribute to the friends who participated.
Synopsis
Dutch, a retired military officer, discovers that two of his closest friends, Dylan and Billy, have been held captive by a terrorist group while on a spy mission. He decides to go look for them along with Mike and his mercenaries. In the forest, they meet Jenny, a CIA agent and friend of Dutch. Shortly after, they find the corpse of a man who was part of the team, and realize they’re not alone. Dutch decides to stay by his friends’ side, but has no idea what he is going to come across…
