Short romantic feelgood comedy

20 min.

The talented Heyl Brothers take you on a romantic journey of hope and love. The life of the happy and positive official Dickie (Corstiaan Smorenburg) suddenly changes when he meets a local traffic warden (Babette Holtmann) and falls in love. Unfortunately she is not that charmed, leaving Dickie desperate for her attention. Many lives are affected on Dickie’s quest for love…but will he finally conquer her heart?

Young, old, religious or atheist. Anyone who’s in for a laugh, a sucker for love, longs for togetherness, is brainwashed by Disney and loves a happy end! For all you pessimists, chronically depressed, worrywarts and gloomy souls: We can’t be held responsible for life changing events or any sudden occurrence of hope, view at your own risk… we can however recommend this movie.

Based on the inspiring internet phenomenon short “Validation”

“A Ticket to Happiness”

Korte romantische feelgood komedie

20 min.

De Heyl Brothers presenteren een hoopgevende film van een vrolijke beambte (Corstiaan Smorenburg) die met zijn positiviteit vele harten doet smelten en van de wereld een betere plek probeert te maken. Helaas valt de vrouw (Babette Holtmann) waar hij verliefd op is niet direct voor zijn charmes. In de strijd voor haar hart leert hij zichzelf en anderen waardevolle lessen, maar zal hij ook de liefde voor zich winnen?

Jong, oud, religieus of atheÏst. Een ieder die open staat voor een lach, die leeft voor de liefde, die verlangt naar samenzijn, die is ‘gebrain-washed door Disney’ en houdt van een HAPPY END! Voor de zwartkijkers, het glas half leeg, chronisch depressieven, de verbitterden en de neerslachtigen: “Wij stellen ons niet aansprakelijk voor levensveranderende schade of sprankjes hoop, bekijken op eigen risico....we kunnen hem echter wel aanbevelen”.

The Heyl BrothersThe Heyl Brothers (Justin Heyl & Joël Heyl) are two talented filmmakers who decided to keep it in the family when they teamed up as a producing/directing duo. Both graduated at the prestigious Utrecht school of arts, they are ready to seriously “kick some ass”. Their horror project (the Acid Theatre) already triggered the media and resulted in an extraordinary piece of art. On their latest contribution to the romantic genre (Fine) they even got a whole city in uproar and created quite a buzz when the mayor himself got a part.

Justin Heyl founded Action Reaction Productions in 2007 and has worked on many different multimedia projects as a designer, photographer and director. Justin also won an important award for upcoming talent in 2010 for his films and photography. Besides his art he also developed a new post production technique called EDI which is enabled in the Acid Theatre. Nothing stands in his way to perceive his ultimate dream to enrich the world with his cinematic art, while pursuing and developing new cinematic techniques.

Joël Heyl is very gifted when it comes to an eye for cinematic detail and the knowledge to back it. He’s extremely versatile with a strong “hands on” approach. From directing to DoP and editing, Joël has a unique ability to capture emotions in their purest form. He’s a wizard in post-production, making him a complete package when it comes to making movies.
