In 1995 Pieter van Huystee started his own production company. Since then he has produced documentaries, feature films and single plays with well-known Dutch directors like Johan van der Keuken, Heddy Honigmann and Peter Delpeut. Additionally, several young filmmakers got the opportunity to realise their plans in cooperation with Pieter van Huystee Film. Currently, six people work for the company in the historical centre of Amsterdam. By combining a daring attitude with decisiveness, Pieter van Huystee Film is considered nowadays to be one of the leading Dutch independent production companies, highly esteemed for the quality and wide range of its projects. In 1999 the distribution department Public Film was added, setting out to release ‘Dutch Docs’ in local cinemas. Moreover, many Van Huystee documentaries and features are screened at festivals all over the world and have won many awards.
