Poolhert Productions is the love child of Ellen Pollard and Marie De Hert: a production company with a heart for both documentary and fiction.
"And uh, a Poolhert? Is that a real animal? Or where did that come from?" - It's a combination of our last names. Made up at a cafe. But after eight years, it's more than a fabrication. It's our stamp. Our sauce. Our take on a world full of mundane, but oh so special people, moments and stories.
What's new?
Babyproof: available on VRT MAX
When they become parents for the first time, the pink cloud stays out for Nora and Viggo. In fact, the birth of Baby, their first child, causes many struggles and unexpected difficulties. Thus, the brand-new parents run up against their own expectations, as well as those of their friends, in-laws and the rest of their environment. In a world full of perfect examples and endless well-meant advice, Nora and Viggo try to work their way through and stay true to their own interpretation of parenthood.
