MICHEL grew up near the beach in a Dutch province called Zeeland. He was always messing around outside, getting himself dirty in clay and mud. You can think he should have become a farmer, but this guy at the age of ten already knew what he wanted to be when growing up. As a kid with vivid imagination and a clear eye for images, he could not have gone anywhere else than to the Netherlands Film Academy, from which he graduated in 2017. Although he is hopelessly romantic, that is not necessarily his genre. Instead, what it is all about for him, is the approach with which a film is made, as well as the people he will work with. What also makes him tick, besides chilling around and doing just plain nothing, is food and a good run or walk. And, of course, how could we forget, his Landrover Defender. You can say he really likes this car, although it’s more accurate to speak of love. Obviously he drives one himself, but still you can wake him up in the middle of the night, dangling the keys of a brand new model, and he is yours to take you anywhere.
