After an early start as both a corporate filmmaker and an indy-film-actor, Daan caught the writing bug. He first turned director to film some of the stories he’d written. He directed the filmteam he brought together during the creation of several shorts.
Welcome to Earth was a huge project to take on due to the number of sets, costumes, props and unique locations needed. The emotional story with huge potential was a big reason for taking it on and brough together a motivated cast and crew. We’re incredibly happy with the result!
