Buma Music In Media New Talent Award for composer

Hans Nieuwenhuijsen

Composer

Hans Nieuwenhuijsen won in 2018 the Buma Music in Motion New Talent Award. “Catastrophe is a composition rich in contrast that underlines and directs the development of the film. Humor is timing and this genre stands or falls with that. The Amsterdam barrel organ is a funny touch, and the production is fine.”
