Silvain Hooglander

Born in Singapore, raised in Holland and Spain. He's quite the international type. At the age of 11 his parents bought him his first 8mm camera. And like most youthfull filmmakers, he totally devoted himself into making little horror/action/adventure films. Chartering anyone who would dare stand in front of the camera and utter a couple of script driven words, he made loads of gems. Gems we'll never get to see... what a shame! At the age of 17, he returned to Holland to go to college. And, by now, still not having lost his interest in film, he decided to study multimedia, a study not very close to what he really wanted, but close enough. Here, he developed his skills, perfectioned his techniques and won many film prizes before graduating. Soon, he became a co-owner of a production company in Holland for which he directs films, TV ads and music videos. His shortfilms still keep on winning prize after prize, proving that he knows how to compell viewers. Although he enjoys making the things he makes, with great success, his fingers still itch. They itch for features. Which is exactly what he's busy with right now. Getting feature films off the ground, greenlit, made and into the cinemas.

In 1998 he married Micky, who gave birth to his daughter, Mila, in 2004.
