We partnered up with sound designers, composers and GFX designers, and tried to really get the standard as high as possible.įor me personally, the trailer we did for 2015's The Paradise Suite was the first time our vision truly came to life. We wanted to completely focus on just cutting AV campaigns for films and series, which was something new in the Netherlands. In 2014, I co-founded Spark Trailers with a friend. This first job was memorable because of that film, but also because of the trailer work I did. But a 100 percent trailer editor or trailer agency wasn't around. You had a few film editors who cut trailers beside cutting feature films. In the Netherlands you didn't have trailer agencies back then. The trailer world was something I didn't know at all. The director loved my use of music and cutting style in some scenes in the film, so he wanted to give me a shot at it. In the end the team also asked me if I wanted to cut a trailer for it. It wasn't a big budget doc, so it was all done with a small team, and I'm still so thankful for that period and all the things I learned. It was an intense period, working closely with the director on a rough cut of the film and after that with the main editor of the film working on scenes and music sequences. This film followed him trying to come back during his suspension.
MOVIE INTERMISSION PROFESSIONAL
I was an assistant editor for Niemand Kent Mij, a 2011 documentary directed by Geertjan Lassche about a professional cyclist who got expelled from the pro-peloton because of doping abuse. Close to the forest, but also just a 30-minute drive to work in Amsterdam. Currently, I live in a small town called Soest, right in the heart of the Netherlands. I was born in Dordrecht, a city close to Rotterdam. Where you grew up, and where you live now. We spoke with Maurits for our Backstory series, where we chat with folks in the entertainment industry about their creative inspirations and more. Maurits has since gone on to help build and mentor a multitalented team and cut campaigns for films and series, including Dark, The Guilty, Matangi Maya M.I.A, Lara and most recently Paul Verhoeven's Benedetta. In 2016, Spark merged with Intermission Film to become the European arm of the company.
MOVIE INTERMISSION TV
This experience ultimately led to Maurits co-founding Spark Trailers, one of the first Dutch agencies dedicated to creating campaigns for the Benelux film and TV industry. TrailerPark was a Dutch masterclass, aiming to get experienced editors enthused by the trailer editing world. With roots in editing short and long form documentaries, Maurits fell in love with trailers during his time at TrailerPark. As a proud European, he has extensive experience working on award-winning campaigns across the continent.
Maurits Malschaert is senior editor and creative director at European film and entertainment creative agency Intermission Film.
