After studying Film and Television Studies at the University of Amsterdam Bart switched to attend the Dutch Film en Television Academy. Already during his studies at the Film Academy (Director), he started working as a video assistant to Thed Lenssen. From moving cables, working as a production assistant and doing video assist, Bart quickly started to direct commercials. Bart’s professional growth to leading commercial director went hand in hand with the development of the most talked-about creative teams of The Netherlands.
Bart’s strength in his storytelling is his extreme attention to detail, his timing and his humor. This is combined with his ability to direct actors in such a way to produce a maximized effect of their play. Everything is in service of the storytelling. A funny story, that strikes with dry humor and is often recognized as the best that The Netherlands has to offer.
His impressive collection of Gouden Loekie’s (very important Dutch public prize), Cannes Lions, Epica’s Eurobests and ADCN (Art Director’s Club Netherlands) Lamps are silent witnesses of his huge success as a storyteller.
