On Grace Kelly, Money And Dreams
A one-hour TV documentary

Languages spoken: English, Dutch
Dutch and English versions are available! 

 
When Bert Maas was 13,
he fell hopelessly in love with the Hollywood film star Grace Kelly.

Years later, after he became businessman and made millions of dollars in the Eastern Block, he decided to invest some 20 million Guilders, producing an original stage musical about his teenage love and building a special, 1200-seat theatre for this musical in Amsterdam.

Till then he had no experience in theatre nor in building.

 

The documentary tells of Bert Maas' life and of his business adventures as it follows the incredibly difficult process of producing an original musical with leading world artists such as the American Cy Coleman ("Sweet Charity")
and famous Dutch artists such as Seth Gaaikema and Frans Weisz,
while at the same short period of 8 months building a whole new theater...

His motto in life is always to do things differently than other people.

 
This is one adventure, which is surely different 

"On Grace Kelly, Money and Dreams"
is a co-production with AVRO Television (Close-Up) and the
Czech Television.
It is supported also by the Co-BO Fonds.
 
 
 
 
 
The world-premiere of the TV documentary  "On Grace Kelly, Money and Dreams"  was a Special Benefit Evening for the Theater School in Amsterdam.
It took place on Monday, February 11, 2002 at 20:00 
at the Grace Theater in Amsterdam.
