Director’s statement
“Grown up under the great influence of adventure blockbusters in the eighties, I was very excited when I read the first draft of Pierre De Clercq’s LABYRINTHUS. It must have been seven years ago. Ever since then, we have been eagerly searching for a way to shape the gaming world in an intriguing, unique but yet budget-friendly way.
“With a 14-year-old main character, it was immediately clear that we targeted an audience between 9 and 13. But from the start, the whole team set the bar much higher so we could make a film that would appeal to both a young and an older audience, packed with humour, adventure and tension.
“LABYRINTHUS is a film that will draw children into a fantasy world, but also adults will be carried away and feel young again for one hour and a half. It’s a children's film set in a grown up way.
“It was fantastic to tinker the thumbnails of the computer world, to see them recreated as CGI (Computer Generated Images) and to see them finally in a film theatre”.
