About the Director: 

The 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 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.

Film synopsis: 
In this alternate reality of the ‘50’s we follow a little girl “Iza” (Lisa Eernisse) who after a horrifying incident with her father, wakes up in the afterlife. Here she meets strange creatures of the night, who take her to a party of darkness hosted by “Rinse”. Surrounded by terrifying creatures she feels utterly disrupted in her reality. Rinse notices this and shows her the alternate version of the party through the power of his music. Now Iza is in a blissful place, meeting all the wonderful creatures she once feared. But the journey is far from over. Iza needs to get home and only Rinse can show her the way… The Concept - Additional Information The Acid Theatre is a unique concept evolving from a meeting between a director and a music artist. The video and the song are created simultaneously by an extraordinary joint venture of two professionals, both specialized in their game. Challenged by their ability to adapt to one another the project was put to a whole new level of creativity. Another unique thing about this unique production is that it’s been fully financed by the artists. This gave them total creative freedom to apply the newest techniques in cinema production, like the custom developed E.D.I.© effect. Dubtek DuBTeK , a mix of “Dubstep” and “Tekno”, is a new futuristic and up-beat dance music. DuBTeK is on the rise to be the next big thing and “The Acid Theatre” shall be the messenger to deliver this prophecy to the devoted followers of dance music. EDI “Extreme Detail Image” is the new ultra high definition experience which will give your film the fullest and richest detail possible. The Acid Theatre© is the first film project in which E.D.I has been fully enabled.
