Coming from Asten in the Netherlands, curiosity has taken writer-director Maarten all around the world since 2007. First he completed a bachelor in Cultural Anthropology in Italy and Spain, then a European Master in Global Studies. Maarten had planned to start a career in the space sector, but instead opted to follow his true passion: telling visual stories. For the past 10 years he taught himself how to write screenplays. In 2020 he enrolled himself at LUCA in Brussels for a degree in Audiovisual Arts. In 2022 he wrote, directed and produced his first short film outside of school, Jagers. which premiered at the Dutch Film Festival. All of Maarten's stories are essentially about lost souls looking for a new home.
