Production – ‘Plankgas’ - Shortfilm

Plankgas is a horror/thriller/action short film, conceptualized by the creative collective BLACK SKELETON CAT Pictures and produced in collaboration with Marlin Productions. The film stars Manouk Pluis in the lead role, with Sophie Meiboom as Tina and Poal Cairo as Jimmy, “the Bouncer”.

Filming was completed in summer 2025, and Plankgas is now in post-production, including additional special-effects work using miniatures and computer animation to heighten its visual impact.

During production, Marlin Productions took charge of several key production functions: they coordinated the casting of Sophie Meiboom and Poal Cairo, supervised costumes, and orchestrated cooperation with the Dutch Police and the Public Prosecution Service (OM) to enable on-location scenes featuring real officers, vehicles, and a controlled road closure.

Supported in part by the Limburg Film Fonds and with significant investment by head writer/director/producer Ignjat Miletic, Plankgas reflects the independent spirit and production capability of Marlin Productions and BLACK SKELETON CAT Pictures, bridging creative vision with operational execution to deliver a visually distinctive cinematic experience.
