Recording the De Hoofdprijs TV series

The Marius Poelzaal at the Westerveld Crematorium was the venue in August for recordings for the 13-part De Hoofdprijs (jackpot) drama series. This series is expected to be broadcast in the autumn of 2008 by the Dutch SBS broadcasting company. The series mostly takes place in a chic residential area somewhere in the Netherlands. The personal lives of three families, two of which have won a large sum of money, become deeply entangled as a result of this good fortune. Its unique historical and cultural character, its charming location and the almost un-Dutch atmosphere of its grounds means Westerveld is often used as a site for television and film recordings. Numerous TV producers and filmmakers have chosen, and continue to choose Westerveld as the location for their programmes, series, documentaries and features films.
