Introduce Yourself : Peace Projects by Willem Elzenga

Willem Elzenga

Peace Projects

Dear all,

I have entered a job as creative producer with The Hague Peace Projects, a non-profit organization based in The Hague, Netherlands, that works to promote peace, human rights, and dialogue in conflict-affected communities. https://thehaguepeace.org/site/about-us/

As a producer I am involved with the growth strategy of our content production. Currently I am developing several new Youtube series and producing a video podcast series for our channel Peace Today with the foundations President. https://youtu.be/Uuo1jSJngIE?si=Z68p1SYETsUrlhaL

What I am looking for at the moment is filmmakers of any kind that have an interest in joining our organisation through their insights and expertise. Also I am looking for projects that would fit our expansion plans in the long term, like quality documentaries, shorts and maybe even feature films. Check my profile if you want to learn more about me as a producer and director.

We collaborate with a great amount of partners and funds, among others the Movies That Matter filmfestival. https://moviesthatmatter.nl/en/international/

So if this might be something for you, let's connect and have a chat! And if you have any tips for me considering filmmakers, projects or organisations I am happy to learn about them.

Peace,

Willem

Hi, Willem Elzenga. Congratulations on getting hired as creative producer with The Hague Peace Projects! I just subscribed to Peace Today on YouTube.

Willem Elzenga

Thanks Maurice Vaughan, Peace Today is a mix of Dutch and English productions, so don't get confused!

Willem Elzenga congrats from me as well - no small feat you've signed up for, but sounds like you have the deep personal motivation to drive you through the tasks :)

what platform are you using for podcast distribution? I read that Spotify is making a big push to increase video podcast content. cheers

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Willem Elzenga. Thanks for letting me know. I'm looking forward to watching the videos.

Hi Willem,

Really inspiring work! I’m a writer based in Pakistan, currently exploring projects around social change and human stories. Would love to connect and see if there’s any way I could contribute.

AI is going to be big time Sebastian, I am already enjoying all its possibilities. We use YouTube with video and Spotify solely audio. I'll ask the team if they're ready for video podcast on spotify, thanks for the tip.
