Director, writer, editor and actor Flip van der Kuil is working as a duo with Steffen Haars. Together they've had a huge success with the TV-show New Kids, which became a phenomenon in the Netherlands and across Europe. After the successful TV-series, production company Eyeworks (Kaap Holland Film) gave them the chance to turn their show into a movie. 1.6 Million people flocked the Dutch theaters to see the blockbusters New Kids Turbo and the sequel New Kids Nitro, written and directed by Haars and Van der Kuil, both edited by Flip. Van der Kuil also stars as one of the main characters Barry Butsers in the popular New Kids sketches and films. The New Kids blockbusters not only became a hit in The Netherlands, but were also successful in Belgium, Japan, Scandinavia, etc. In Germany, New Kids Turbo was the biggest Dutch film release ever. On top of the success at the box-office, the movies also won several awards at film festivals, like New Kids Turbo - Best Director Comedy Fantastic Fest 2011 and New Kids Nitro - Best Comedy Fantastic Fest 2012. In 2011 Haars and van der Kuil quit the New Kids franchise and wrote and directed a new movie: BROs BEFORE HOs. Flip was also responsible for the edit of romantic comedy. BROs BEFORE HOs also had Haars and Van der Kuil's trademark sense of humor. They love to push the boundaries of comedy: if it makes them laugh, it's funny and it goes into the movie. That's why BROs BEFORE HOs, just like its predecessors, is such a hilariously funny film. And a big box office hit in the Netherlands. In April 2016 Flip van der Kuil and Steffen Haars announced their upcoming comedy Ron Goossens, Low Budget Stuntman, written and directed by the duo. van der Kuil will also edit the film, which will be released in February 2017.
