Born and raised in rural Roelofarendsveen, ROY’s career started with harvesting tulip bulbs to earn some money (and next spent that on beer in the weekends). A few years later he was about the only one amongst his friends to move to the big city to study at the Netherlands Film Academy in Amsterdam, from which he graduated in 2016. He likes to make art house films, big or small, which show the natural beauty of life. What he doesn’t like, is cooking. You might even meet an angry Roy when you ask him to make some food, because although he is great at eating and loves to be invited to dinner parties, preparing his own meal is simply not his thing. He will however definitely show up for the annual fair in his hometown. He might be a man of the world, but when it’s that time of year in the village, there is only one place he wants to be.
