Dochuis, UNDISCOVERED stories by UNDISCOVERED MAKERS
DocHuis is an independent production house focused on developing and producing social (investigative) journalistic and cultural documentaries and series. Together with new makers we tell undiscovered stories via regional and national (public) media in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, independently financed by broadcasters and funds. We shine our spotlights on stories that are happening right under our noses but that few people know about.
We give the new generation of filmmakers the opportunity to share documentaries about the changing zeitgeist with a broad audience. For example, we participate with young (debut) makers in NPO talent trajectories 3LAB and Teledoc Campus in which they make their first short documentaries. We also launched our own experimental classroom DocLokaal where new makers make documentaries for regional and local media.
ABOUT JULIAN KLOP
Julian Klop (1995) is a producer of social documentaries and founder of DocHuis. At the age of 17, he started as a reporter for the local broadcaster. During his Journalism studies in Tilburg, he did an internship at his own company and worked as a presenter for RTL Nederland and DPG Media. After two years of freelancing, he founded the production company Klop Media, with which he created campaigns for social organizations. Since 2023, he has focused entirely on producing documentaries and series, in collaboration with new makers. Julian also gives guest lectures on pitching, financing and marketing in the minor CampusDoc of the School for Journalism in Utrecht, and on entrepreneurship at Fontys Journalism. His mission is to familiarize new makers with the film industry.

ABOUT DOCLOKAAL
'DocLokaal' is our own experimental classroom for young documentary makers (20-30 years old) to make investigative journalistic documentaries and series for regional and local public broadcasters in Utrecht and South Holland. Under the guidance of experienced project coach Wiesje Kuijpers - who made several VPRO documentaries as a researcher - the makers create in-depth documentaries for television and online. With this we want to strengthen local journalism, expose social issues and offer young talent a springboard to a successful career. After making a DocLokaal film, makers can make a next film at, for example, Teledoc Campus or 3LAB.
