Overview

Genk, the breeding ground for creativity.

Genk has always been more than just my hometown to me. It's also a place that has helped me develop my talents and passions. While I often heard young people around me refer to Genk as a 'crappy town' and wanted to leave it behind as soon as possible, I never identified with that feeling. That's why I searched for residents in Genk who have achieved great success to demonstrate that this city is a place that gives your talents a boost. It's a place that invests in and encourages them. I wanted to find people from Genk who embodied that idea and through their stories, show how the city has played a role in nurturing their passions. I this documentary I interviewed Differently Alike (consisting of Ozlem Altinpinar and Esosa Obobaifo), a YouTube duo that creates K-pop content. With almost 200.000 subscribers they've build an international fanbase. Chaz (Jonas Thys) again has been creatively active within music. He's a hiphop producer and rapper. Throughout the years he's been creating music and has performed on big stages like Pukkelpop. All of their creative passions took off from a very young age in Genk. They still value the creative community around them in this city.
