History

PostPanic formed back in 1997 when Mischa Rozema, Jules Tervoort and Mark Visser graduated from HKU (Hogeschool Kunst Utrecht) together. Their graduation film A Time Of Panic was received to high acclaim and launched their careers in the Netherlands. The name PostPanic is a reference to life after A Time for Panic. In 2007, Mark Visser left PostPanic to work on his own projects.

PostPanic moved to larger premises in Summer 2009 which also include extended post facilities.

In 2012, PostPanic embarked on their most ambitious personal project to date, SUNDAYS - a feature film idea written and to be directed by PostPanic co-founder Mischa Rozema. In order to keep Mischa's vision creatively pure, PostPanic decided to start off their dream with a concept short that would be released as the debut project of their new arm, PostPanic Pictures. They successfully raised over 50K US Dollars via the SUNDAYS Kickstarter campaign. Filming took place in Mexico City in November 2012 with US actor Brian Petsos taking on the male lead. The concept short was released on-line in March 2015 and sparked a bidding war between the US Studios, with Warner Bros finally securing the winning deal . The film is currently in pre-production with Chernin co-producing and Mischa Rozema directing.

In 2015, PostPanic Pictures announced their second film project, Lost Boy, written and to be directed by duo Ash Thorp and Anthony Scott Burns. Following the successful model of Sundays, the team filmed on location in Spain (November 2015) and are now in post-production on the Lost Boy concept short, with projected mid-November 2016 release date.

Other projects currently in development: Little Sh*t, written and directed by Richard Gorodecky. Currently in post-production, Little Sh*t is a traditional format short introducing the characters which populate Gorodecky’s unsettling yet touching ode to London’s hidden nature. Also, Mischa Rozema’s latest sci-fi project, MidAir, is set to release its breathtaking concept short in 2017. It explores the idea of a multi-verse and how this could affect the relationships we carry through life
