Our Mission 
To offer ad-free, freely accessible film content focused on the transition to a new economy.
Conscious and CO₂-Neutral Film Production
At BC1®, working in an environmentally friendly way isn’t an ambition, it’s part of our daily practice.
We operate as CO₂-neutrally as possible: without the use of fossil fuels or gas, and we travel exclusively by electric car or public transport.
Our operations run largely on solar energy, which we store in batteries when in surplus, including for charging our electric vehicles. During winter, we supplement this with electricity from a provider that supplies 100% Dutch green energy.
Unfortunately, it’s still not possible to extract 100% green electricity from the grid, as it remains a mix, but we do everything we can to operate as sustainably as possible.

What Clients Say
Rob Beemster – Greenport NHN:
Working with Tilly and her colleagues is always a pleasure. Through my experiences with Greenport NHN and ONHN, I’ve gained extensive insights into BC1, and I have never been disappointed. What personally appeals to me is their documentary approach. The videos are visually engaging and easy to watch while delivering valuable messages to the audience. Before filming, they ask the right questions and line up the appropriate people, focusing on capturing the subject itself rather than just the speakers. With BC1’s invaluable assistance, we’ve managed to present developments in agriculture and energy to our audience in a new and impactful way.
Sander ‘t Sas – Journalist at EenVandaag:
Hans Scholtze is one of the best filmmakers I know. Having worked with him for over 15 years, every collaboration has resulted in outstanding productions. Hans is an excellent cameraman and editor with up-to-date technical knowledge and a keen sense of visual language, making stories clear and beautifully captured. His ability to turn even complex issues into visually appealing and understandable narratives is remarkable. On top of that, working with Hans is always a pleasure.
Mark Spetter – Provincie Flevoland:
Tilly and her team at BC1 created a film for us, the province of Flevoland, on the circular economy: Circulair Flevoland 2030. From start to finish, Tilly and her team were highly involved and professional, helping us understand what we wanted and how to translate that into a film.
The 33-minute film premiered in a cinema in Almere, and everyone—including the businesses featured and the audience—was very enthusiastic. The film’s powerful visuals effectively showcased ongoing circular economy efforts in the province and a vision for 2030. It was also structured to be shared in parts, for use in events and education. BC1 also supported us with internal and external communications, targeted invitations, social media messaging, and strategy.
In short, BC1 exceeded our expectations, and we are very satisfied with both the content and the process.
Flevoland provides entrepreneurs with space to operate circularly
Huub Lavooij – Delta21:
I know Hans Scholtze as an expert director of highly professional films in many areas, with his knowledge of the energy transition standing out most positively.
